Painted from 24th May - 29th July, 2010

Size: 20 inches x 20 inches

Acrylic on canvas

Took some time to get into this, I had to translate not just from a reference photo to canvas, but also make up a colour scheme using red in every mix. Challenging but worth it! Sold.

Wow...this is really awesome!! I thought it was a picture!!
It must have been very difficult with all that red, but I think the tones are very good!
Congratulations! X)

Thanks yes it was difficult, because in acrylics, red is the most challenging colour to control when mixing. A slight bit too much and the mix gets overwhelmed by it. So I had to be careful to make sure my tones were spot on! :)

Beautifully done! Amazing that you didn't have to sketch it before adding paint, very impressive.

Neat and clean lines - did you a premade drawing on the canvas as orientation for painting? Brilliant.

No drawing, no premade structure, all freehand paint!
