Casual Re-enactors - Nicholas Robertson

Casual Re-enactors by Nicholas Robertson Painting 19.7 x 27.6 :: References for this pantng stem from a sailing festival at Gloucester Docks UK (and a trip to Norway). There was an abundance of historic sailing ships with displays by re-enactors. I watched a group of British 18th century 'off duty' sailors interacting with each other and this painting is the result. I am unsure what the interaction in this painting is However I suspect viewers will apply their own narrative. The work consists of a Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange then opaque pigments are used to lay down the undercoating of some of the subject matter. Subsequently using acrylic paint in washes which has been thinned using Liquidex airbrush medium. This layering of the work allows for subtle tonal attributes that give depth and intensity. The overall result is an acrylic painting with a degree of luminosity rather than the usual flat acrylic finish. :: Type: Painting Medium: Acrylic Style: Fine Art Subject: Maritime Width: 19.7 Height: 27.6 Depth: 0.5 Weight: 0.6 lbs Framed: no :: All art on Zatista is original and signed.
