Soph Painting

Portrait of a woman.... Mixed Media Painting on canvas.... Mix of digital photo collage / manipulation done by me..creating an original and unique artwork that was exclusively Giclée printed at GAP-Grafic Art Prints ( Certified Studio by Hahnemühle in Barcelona ). Using an Epsom Stylus Pro 9600 printer ..with UltraChrome K3 Pigmented Inks on Hahnemühle Museum Etching paper 350 gsm / 100% cotton pulp / acid free. Then the print is perfectly mounted on a streched canvas using gel medium as a glue. After that I begin a new creative process in which I retouch the surface of the work using colour pencils / acrylic paints and also cover all the surface with multiple layers of gel medium and acrylic resin ,creating some extra texture. All this tech/ creative work takes several days to be accomplish. After all the layers got "mature" the piece was finished with a couple hands of matte varnish.
