Portuguese Whispers - Nicholas Robertson

Portuguese Whispers by Nicholas Robertson Painting 15.7 x 19.7 :: This artwork is the result of observations at the bustling Praca Rossio square in Lisbon. Street singers were entertaining the crowd and the crowd was entertaining me. Or more accurately they supplied the colour reference and emotion for this painting and I put them together. Also published in the magazine 'Pomegranate' a London-based art and literary magazine known for featuring short stories poems essays and art. 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 diluted 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. Finished with a coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish this not only protects the painting but has a unifying effect. A suggested frame width of at least 60mm for this 40x50cm painting. This makes for the best visual effect and prevents warping. :: Type: Painting Medium: Acrylic Style: Contemporary Subject: Women Width: 15.7 Height: 19.7 Depth: 0.5 Weight: 1 lbs Framed: no :: All art on Zatista is original and signed.
