There really is a coastal path area in east Dorset UK called Scratchy Bottom. I walked it with my wife and its a glorious place with lush pasture and abrupt chalk white cliffs. It also has a Hardyesque sense of being unfrequented. Using my wife as the lonely figure, I have tried to capture this perception.
The work consists of a Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange, then opaque pigments are used to lay down the undercoating of some of the subject matter. Subsequently using acrylic paint in washes which has been thinned on the fly using diluted Liquidex airbrush medium. This layering of the work allows for subtle tonal attributes that give depth and intensity. The overall result is an acrylic painting with a degree of luminosity rather than the usual flat acrylic finish.
Finished with a coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish, this not only protects the painting but has a unifying effect.
A suggested frame width of at least 40mm for this 24x30cm painting.
This makes for the best visual effect and prevents warping.
