Daredevil - Painting I: The Angel - Painting

Let the fun begin. . . 

The Angel will be a multi-media undertaking, with acrylics prevailing. Oils will be used to provide a sculptural texture, address subtle effects, an add depth overall. Acrylics and acrylic stains will be used to distress and stain the stone, as well as provide the harsher contrasts. In all probabi- lity, pastels, etc. will also make an appearance, both fixed and un-.

The ventral half (facing the viewer) of Phase I is now complete. All the work to this point has been executed in acrylics. This has been as enlightening as it has been enjoyable; but I will be the first to acknowledge that the most difficult challenge will be to know when to stop.

To be continued. . .
