Art – Listening

This is a back-dated post for my archive project, where I am copying over every piece of art I have ever submitted to DeviantArt, with the original submission date or watermarked year stamp, so a complete archive of my work can be found on this website, even if the item was never or is no longer displayed in my portfolios.

To paint this I first did an underpainting of black and let it dry, so there would be no risk of unwanted white showing through. The painting itself was created by applying a thin layer of black paint to the entire canvas, and then adding in white while the black was wet and blending the softer gray areas. No medium was used. I expect this painting to take about three weeks to dry completely before I can varnish it.
