Technique
The technique used for the first phase of my production is classic: traditional oil painting on linen canvas or wood panel.
The technique used for the second phase is the same as the one used for the first one: traditional oil painting on wood panel. The difference is that the wooden support is cut by hand to the exact shape of the original object in order to create a trompe l’oeil effect. The curved panel is sanded, treated and then covered with a plaster-based coating.
The drawing, made on tracing paper from the photograph of the object, is then applied to the panel. Then the colours are laid flat, before working on the volume and details.
