Yoga Series Continued…
Dancer’s Pose – Natarajasana – 12″ x 36″ x 1.5″
This was a 6 part yoga painting – Step 1) Gesso the canvas black – Step 2) Resin over the canvas was a black tinted resin – Step 3) Mark exactly where the pose would be painted – Step 4) Sand the area to be painted – Step 5) Apply clear gesso to sanded area – Steph 6) Paint Pose
The painting was completed using just a palette knife. The pose has a nice thick texture that was accomplished by the use of modeling paste added to the acrylic paint.
In the first picture, you can see that the resined black background gives a mirror effect, reflecting whatever is in front of the canvas. It has a glass-like top finish, and the pose has a non-reflective matte finish.
The second picture shows how the reflection moves as you move, showing off the matte finish pose.
The last picture is a detail shot of the palette knife work.
