Near completion of a painting, it's possible to "lose" the artwork. Watch the video to find out how this can happen and what I do to prevent overworking my paintings. This video is about FINISHING the "Canopy of Peonies" original oil painting, ... we're beginning with a few stills showing where I left off. From a cadmium red medium to a cadmium yellow light colours are layered and edges softened. The entire canvas is worked to maintain a cohesive quality throughout the painting process. Abstract elements, vibrancy of contrasted colours, raw passages and jagged strokes create texture and depth and allow space for the imagination to roam.
