Child of Mars' Gold Gilded Oil painting by Jacqueline Gomez of Nude Female Figurative Artwork

'Child of Mars' / Oil with Gold Metal Leaf Gilding / 7.3 x 5.1 Inches

Howdy Folks!,.. 'Child of Mars' has finally got its final coat of nice glossy satin varnish!.

I loved experimenting with simultaneous warm and cool lighting effects on the model in this piece, and the composition was somewhat inspired by Euan Uglow's symmetrical minimalist figurative paintings..

Geometric repetition with the figure and throughout the composition was used to create harmony and balance, and I strived to create a tactile and exciting piece with the textured surface and by contrasting flat hues with the high realism of the woman's figure..

Available for collection at 'Child of Mars'

This piece is also available as an archival giclee print !

'Zen Dog' Handpulled Limited Edition Prints With Silverleaf!!

1/20/2019

Hiya folks!,.. It's been a while hasn't it!. I'm coming out of a difficult year after caring for my dad through his last few months and long slow deterioration. There are no words to describe how it feels to see a loved one go thus... We miss him everyday now even though he had long been a shadow of himself.

Anyways, art has always pulled me through difficult times and I was working on this little print during his final days. I did one set with goldleaf for some artist friends (12 editions) and this set (below in only 8 editions) with silverleaf. I hadn't done any printmaking since my college days so I kept it simple.

'Zen Dog' Silverleaf V / Limited Edition Linocut Printmaking Print by Jacqueline Gomez

'Zen Dog' Variable Limited Edition Linocut Print Gilded with Silver Metal Leaf (Only 8 editions) on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 3.5 x 3.65 Inches

This is the first time I've tried gilding a handpulled print and it's a bit tricky to do so, as each piece is supposed to be as identical as possible ( this is a mark of a good printmaker). To get the gilding pattern of each print as close as possible I used a stencil to apply the gilding paste and then continued with the gilding process as usual.
I wanted the silverleaf to be protected though, so a layer of Artist Varnish was applied just to the leaf alone.

These prints have only just been made available on Artfinder so if you're interested in adding one to your collection pop on by - 'Zen Dog' Silverleaf V/E Print .

'Midnight Stars' GoldLeaf Gilded Oil painting by Jacqueline Gomez

'Midnight Stars' / Oil & Gold Metal Leaf on Canvas / Size: 6.7" x 11.7"

SOLD

Hiya folks! So 'Midnight Stars has finally been varnished with a lovely beeswax satin finish which really suits the raw canvas base of the painting.
It's also been flipped here (I think it looks great either way though how it is finally displayed will ultimately be up to the final collector).

There were quite a few twists and turns in its creation and if you're interested in reading more regarding that journey check out its WIP on my blog at 'Midnight Stars WIP'!

Thanks for the visit guys, I truly appreciate it! :D

Blue Mixed Media Figurative Drawing by Jacqueline Gomez

Acrylic, Ink, Conte and Charcoal Pencil on 300g/m Rough Watercolour Paper / Size: 8.6 x 8.4 Inches

I wanted to experiment with some interesting accidental washes and colours as a background to this piece. Knowing that this was going to be quite a spontaneous piece, I had to be sure I was working on a surface that could take at least a little rubbing for any alterations I needed to do as I went along. One good thing about practicing on newsprint is that there is virtually no room to mess around with a drawing without some trace of the alteration or damage to the surface. This has been good training in making sure I'm mindful of each mark I make. You can imagine when I do work on a surface that can take a little rough housing, it takes a huge chunk of pressure off, but the training still stays...

I have some nice thick 300g/m watercolour paper for this and gave it a wash of acrylic ultramarine blue then raw umber, letting the washes run down to make interesting dripping marks for the background.

Using a Sepia Light Conte Pencil, the figure was drawn, making sure the 'quality of line' was good as this drawing would be seen in the completed piece. The acrylic primed rough watercolour paper was a great surface to work on. Once I was satisfied with the drawing, the shadows were given a wash of Chinese Black Ink ( there is just a unique luminous quality to chinese ink and I love using it whenever possible ).
To help get my bearings I now went in with the lightest light I planned for the piece.
A splash of white acrylic (with a touch of raw umber) carved out the structure of the man's head and shoulder. Though I had a rough idea where I wanted the white to go, I was always aware of how the composition was developing as I was applying it and adjusting accordingly. For example, I had planned to paint down over the man's left shoulder more, but then the drip happened and looked so good I had to leave it. Acrylic dries fast so decisions had to be made quickly.
With the lights and darks established I went in with a little more detailing for the figure with white chalk, charcoal and the sepia light pencil. I had to be careful not to do too much or risk losing the mood of the piece..

Slumber Revised

4/29/2018

So I decided to develop this piece further, getting textural effects on the paper and adding the vibrant ultramarine blue and black ink in the background. I really like the aged look of the paper now and the overall effect by adding the colour and background makes for a much more interesting composition.

Original Sin Rebirth

2/1/2018

Had to say adieu to this one today. I was surprisingly sadder than usual to see a piece go. I was quite pleased at successfully achieving just the exact glowing emerald hue I had envisioned for the snake and this was also my first attempt at trying a new crosshatching technique with the oil paint too.. Despite this I could not feel more blessed with whom she is on her way to right now!.. Thank you so much for making a home for two!.. :)

'Backlite' Silverleaf Oil Painting

11/30/2017

Hi guys!, This little piece is done finally after a few failed attempts. With it being so tiny, the crosshatched strokes I wished to create at first were coming out a little too thick and clumsy, but each time I just rubbed it down and started again.. I think it came out well in the end!..

Twilight

11/18/2017

I've been testing out different colour palettes for my figurative work lately 'Twilight' being the latest. I quite like the prussian blue based hues in this one, especially how well it plays off the complementary raw umber in the background.
