Finished Painting


These are the final images of the colour painting. I think that I am now happy with it, I have wiped a lot of the paint away using a rag and turps and added some textured brush strokes I think that this makes the painting appear less flat and it now has some depth to it.


This is a close up showing where have wiped away some paint and added texture







Mark Rothko
White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose)
1950, oil on canvas




Red, Orange, Tan, and Purple, 1949
Oil on canvas 84 1/2 x 68 1/2 inches (214.5 x 174 cm)

These are some examples of Mark Rothko's work. I really like the brush stroke effect in his work, it appears thin yet textured, I tried to create this effect within my painting.
