Dud Corner Painting

Reading Robert Graves book 'Goodbye to all that' while coincidently travelling through Flanders, I came across the Commonwealth War Grave which had names of his fallen comrades. The mood of disquiet at this place provoked the making of this work. I work in acrylic because it allows me to experiment, making changes quickly is paramount when wishing to explore my options. I apply the acrylic in successive washes to achieve a soft structure and usually reinforce areas with a more opaque use of the pigments. I use artists hogs hair brushes to apply and manipulate the paint with large 4" brushes to spread the washes and break up the linework. The work is painted on a Superior Studland board as I like the rigidity and fine surface, plus the longevity has a proven record. This work is on a Studland board, no varnish finish is applied because of its absorbency. So the painting should be framed with a mount and under glass. I recommend at least a 60mm wide frame, narrow frames on large paintings do not sit well and have a tendency to warp.
