REBORN Size: 60.96cm x 91.44cm Medium: Acrylic on canvas Completion: August 2019
PROCESS
First I connected all four corners of the boarders
After I made a rectangle I then stretched canvas a little larger than the frame, then stapled the canvas along the boarder of the frame (excluding the corners)
After I stapled the edging I used the extra canvas to fold nicely to staple the corners down
After everything is stapled I cut off all the extra canvas, making sure there are no shadows of the canvas showing through the front
On my canvas I painted two layers of gesso on it
After the gesso was dry, I painted my background completely cadmium yellow
After the background dried in the computer I opened my photo up from Google Photos
The photo I used was my sketch because I really liked how there was even negative space and the lines were clean
I plugged in the projector to the computer and adjusted the projection to fit my canvas as much as possible
I sketched out each line shown in the projection
I then used a 8 round paint brush to go over the sketch in brown
