Description

Tackle44 was my first large canvas attempt in the football direction, to see if my style/method would work in this type of theme. It was done primarily in oils and a variety of oil mediums, using a time consuming "layering" blend style/technique with paint over paint. The blending was done by using either a small brush or sometimes my finger, to build on the layer(s) below. The time aspect was lengthy, due to requiring the paint to totally dry between each layer or overlapping color. If you look closer or enlarge this picture, you will see quite a bit of texture, both in paint and from the canvas showing through. You will also see a multi colored "windows" in the same spot, again due to the layer on layer technique I use.
My works and style are unique, but the end product is stunning. Please enjoy this great sports piece and check out my other works, both illustrations and other painting, on my site. Thank you!
