Decided to try out something different this time with one of my figure gesture studies.. This piece pretty much evolved organically with the different media added according to what was called out for as the piece progressed!

Another expressive piece combining a mix of media to create a blend of abstract realism. The gestural charcoal drawing of an expectant mother was first fixed from the back with shellac in expressive strokes that would then still be visible in a luminous like effect under the layer of translucent black plaka paint strokes in the front.
The linear accidental effects from the paint caused by the natural puckering of the paper when wet, gives further dimensional layering and interest to the piece..

Reflective Infoxication' Silverleaf Nude Figurative Oil Painting by Jacqueline Gomez

'Reflective Infoxication' / Oil and Gilded Silverleaf on Canvasboard / 24 x 17 Inches

If you're like me, carving out space for deep contemplation is a challenge, while the quick fix to quench our insatiable evolutionary desire to learn is ever within a few clicks.
It's a privilege we as a species have yet to have evolved to handle efficiently and at the risk of our minds turning into shallow puddles of frivolous twitterings, find ourselves having to adapt to a new way of being, between mindfulness and the overload of info we seemingly deem so vital to our survival..

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

SOLD

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 !

'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'!

If you are more interested in the ideas and concept behind the piece, read more at 'Midnight Stars'.

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

SOLD

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..

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!.. :)
