About This Work
This girl was viewed from one of my favourite observation spots, the National Gallery Terrace, London. The terrace has a high, but not too high vantage point over the whole of Trafalgar Square. Her preoccupation with a fire eating entertainer made for a leisurely study. The multitude of street entertainers at this location always attract interesting crowds. The work consists of a Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange over the gesso manufacturers finish. Opaque pigments have been used to lay down some areas. Subsequent layers of acrylic paint have been applied in washes which has been thinned using Liquidex airbrush medium. This thin multiple layering of pigment allows for subtle tonal attributes and a degree of luminosity avoiding the usual flat acrylic finish. Finished with a coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish, this not only protects the painting, but has a unifying effect. A suggested frame width of at least 50mm for this canvas board makes for the best visual effect and prevents warping.
