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.
