'The Dawning Light'

3/11/2019

Hiya folks! Finally able to make this piece available after its final varnish. The final finish has a sort of satin matt look which I feel suits the piece best.
There are so many more light combinations to be explored with this angle, so I might even do more on this subject.
If you'd like to know more on this piece and how it was created click on the link below..

Midnight Stars

'Midnight Stars' GoldLeaf Gilded Oil painting by Jacqueline Gomez

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

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

Morning Visitor Alla Prima

8/12/2018

'Morning Visitor' alla prima oil painting by Jacqueline Gomez of dark interior bedroom with cat and woman sleeping lite by window sunlight.

'Morning Visitor' Oil on Canvasboard . Size: 7.4 x 5.1 Inches

It was great fun painting this alla prima oil of a subject matter so close to my heart, my mother and little cat (at the time) Crookshanks.
I wanted to really capture the early morning light as it shone brightly, illuminating the dark interior of my mother's bedroom. So, unlike the rest of the piece, the window area was left bare of any toned underpainting. The rest was painted with a limited palette over a toned ground of paynes grey, yellow ocher and raw umber.
Much of this toned ground is left uncovered in the final piece intentionally and background elements have been left with a rough unfinished look.

Do you see it...

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..

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.

Hiya folks, I've been incorporating silver metal leaf in a lot of my recent works, however I decided to also include some crosshatched dip pen ink work in this piece as well.

Long Haired Tellurian Watercolour

2/27/2017

Nude Female in Watercolour with Long Hair by Jacqueline Gomez

Watercolour on 300gsm Paper / Size: 6.7 x 11.3 Inches

Had fun reacquainting myself with watercolour for this piece. Charles Reid's book 'Portrait Painting in Watercolor' really helped a lot. What I need is a lot more practice of course, so I'll definitely be doing more till I stop feeling it in my bones and inevitably switch mediums once again.

This piece has a beautiful deckled edge and is painted on 300gsm cold pressed (textured) watercolour paper.
