How I created this painting

Korben is painted onto a flat sheet of triple primed gallery grade canvas sheet then mounted onto a hand-made 44mm seasoned timber frame. He is painted using industrial black enamel gloss paint and acrylic colours. Korben measures 143cm x 84cm.

Why I created it

Well I've started out by painting a canvas completely black before so I thought I would have a go. What came out is quite a departure for me, I've never painted anything like this before.

What's going on in this painting?

After the black background was dry I began to apply colours from a very varied colour palette (probably consisting of about 10 colours). I deliberately wanted to show the black through the colours so I made a custom set of brushes just for this piece. This allowed me to almost scrape the paint across the canvas so I could make small ridges in the strokes allowing the black to be seen underneath. Some people see church pipes, some see a city, others have commented on it looking like candles burning. Personally, I prefer the picture pointing downwards - I have provided examples of how it can be hung in the pictures above. This painting really needs to be lit properly. You simply cannot get the impact of this painting in ordinary daylight - you really need to think about this if you decide to buy it.
