Was never that happy with initial results, felt it lacked some definition and color tone was WAY off, but always liked the results of the texturing. I “re-stained” the piece with a thin coat of black and wiped away parts hoping to develop the shadow areas and bring out a little more detail. The “moon” was equally disappointing but redoing this section would mean repainting the entire piece, which to me is a “no can do”.
Close up and Happy Mistakes
After trying to rescue an older piece that was beyond a simple re-do, I cut it down and ripped off some of the canvas, ended up throwing away everything but a small piece of canvas. The inside (back) of the canvas is what you see here, the resulting texture is very pleasing…
Some past works trying to satisfy my obsession with LOTR Middle Earth…
