After fixing my pencil drawing on the canvas, I use a transparent mixture of acrylic color and mat medium to tone the surface. I use a combination of burnt sienna and cadmium red to give the canvas a warm, rich ground to paint on. Now I no longer have to try to compensate for the bright white of the canvas when I apply paint to my drawing.
The Art of Richard De Wolfe is intended to show how I make my art, things that interest me creatively, and what I am working on at the moment. If what you find here interests you, please 'bookmark me', come back often and visit my Gallery, too!
