The Day Has Arrived!
The portrait
of well respected Dr. Steven Aung is complete, and I am very pleased with the
end result.
My hope and wish for this portrait was to portray the sincere love
and compassion that Dr. Aung possesses. In my heart my wish has been fulfilled!
If you look closely,
sometimes it appears he is smiling, but is he?
My first two
attempts to capture the golden glow on his face became problematic. I used
transference gold paint and it looked dreadful. It cast a muddy appearance
unless the light was shining directly over his face.
What to do? I
lined up all of my ‘Golden’ brand paints and started experimenting, and to my
surprise I discovered how to create a golden glow without using gold.
My secrets
will be revealed at my next workshop in May at ASSC, (Art Association of Strathcona County).
If you would
like to view Dr. Aung’s portrait in person, the painting will be exhibited at
the ‘Loft Gallery.’
Location: A. J. Ottewell Centre, 590 Broadmore Blvd,
Sherwood Park.
Date: Saturdays and Sundays, March and April.
Time: 12:00 to
4:00 pm.
