El Ángel Caído Lucha Contra la Fuerza del Cielo. Painting

The Grisaille and Glazes Technique: Many masters of antiquity painted the oil paintings initially all in black and white as a grisaille and all the color where added with transparent veils or glazes, layer upon layer, of oil paint, achieving an interesting color vibration, letting the previous layers transparent and obtaining a volume effect and soft gradient. The Gioconda has been shown to have more than 30 layers, almost all glazes. After using this technique in many of my paintings, I thought of using a black-and-white photograph that would act as a grisaille and paint with oil on it. I finally unite my two passions, the interesting perfection of photography and the infinite chromatism of painting. THE TECHNIQUE ITSELF : After working with the photography in the computer to make those complicated cities views, I print it in black and white on canvas with the best quality printer you can find in the world. Then, back into my studio, I do the transparent resins preparation on the canvas with painting knife or spatula, getting a very special texture that gives a unique shape. Generally it takes several hours to have the finest texture the painting needs. After that, I start with the real wonderful experience that it is to give the colors in oil painting that the image asks me to put. When painting in oil the grisaille, there is a total control, both in shape and color. Working with oil paint is a huge advantage due to the great power you have over the image. By using transparent veils, layer upon layer, you get very unique vibrations of color and textures.
