This painting that i am showing here, is one panel of a triptych that I just finished painting.
On the left you see it in its early stages and on the right, in its finished stage.
I started by painting a thin coat of burnt umber and I painted in the form of my arch. You can see I have also transferred my drawing onto the prepared canvas.
I then built up my figures with black and white and let the burnt umber shine through.
I used the finished central panel as a guide for the circles and arches.
I then started glazing the figures with translucent colors
The orange in the female figure is just a yellow glaze over the red you saw in the last picture.
I also started painting the creatures in the arch and the outer symbols.
I then gilded the panel with 24 karat gold leaf so that it matched the central panel in color.
And there it is finished with the other two panels :)
It is currently on display at the Galerie 18bis in Paris, France. I just did a live painting perfomance with the amazing musician Didier Malherbe and friends. I will try to do a blog about it :)
