I did a sketch at a fundraising event last week and I like it so much that I’m going to have a bash at making a painting from it. I don’t normally paint from sketches, although I often develop printmaking projects from my sketchbooks, so I’m going to have to approach this in a very different way, I think. I scanned and printed it at size A4 and transferred it to a reclaimed canvas.
I started by roughly painting on an Indian Yellow base colour in Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic. I can see the texture of the old painting underneath and some bits of the original show through like ghosts. Now …. where to go from here?
