My captivating Blue Otter emerged from yet another daring experiment in my artistic journey!
Renowned for my bold and expressive use of colour, this particular piece showcases a deep, intense blue that allows the subject to leap off the canvas with striking allure. To achieve this effect, I employed tightly interwoven white brushstrokes as a foundational layer, serving as a canvas for the subsequent layers of subtle, transparent glazes. This technique, reminiscent of the one utilized in my acclaimed Rainbow Hares series, proved to be equally effective in enhancing the vibrancy and depth of the otter’s portrayal.
In summary, I am utterly thrilled with the outcome of Blue Otter—it may even be deemed my finest work to date! Nonetheless, regardless of accolades, I view this piece as a valuable learning experience, one that will undoubtedly inform and enrich my exploration of this subject matter in future endeavours. With each experiment, I grow as an artist, continually pushing the boundaries of my creativity to new heights.
Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.
Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
