Through the Looking Glass (2019) Original Oil Painting by Amy Devlin

My process starts with taking the photographs I work from, I like to experiment with angles and light in the photography and really like the distorted vision from under the water. Every inch of the canvas has multiple layers on to build up the feeling of light, water and body, ever layer focusing in on additional detail until there is a balance between tight detail and watery fluidity. This painting was all about the light in different forms, the bright sunlight, the reflections on skin, the blue ringing light in the underside of the hand, the distorted water.
