Covid Painting
This shows my take upon the pandemic and the progression of the painting expressing my view.
Making the stone Realistic
To make the stone look realistic, I had to build up layers of glazes and impasto marks to mimic the textured surface.
Using fast brushstrokes helps stop the paint from burying into the rough surface of the canvas, allowing the texture to be seen from further away.
