This week after producing this study, following on from last week, I began working on my final piece. I introduced the lamp form above coming in at a peculiar angle after having found this piece by Enrico Robust:
The plywood board I’d bought took quite a fair bit of preparation, for in order to get it to the shape I wanted I had to attach three pieces together, with the help of the technician.
The initial layers of my piece, working on a raw umber and burnt umber tinted gesso primed surface, i first sketched out my composition using my sketchbook study’s to help. Next I filled in the highlights and shadow as doing this gives me a good ground to work on, and allows me to see everything clearly. I like to work across the piece evenly as opposed to working on sections at a time for I feel this gives me balanced outcome. outcome.
