Painting reproductions
Materials:
wood painting panel, colour printed picture of painting you want to recreate, weldbond or other white glue, acrylic paint and acrylic gel, hot glue, FEV, metallic tape.
Tools:
paint brushes bone folder, Exacto knife.
The image I choose was a portrait of John Lennon. This painting was a good choice because it allowed me to build up the paint and add texture making it look very real.
Step 1
Glue Image to the wood panel be very careful and using your boning knife try not have any air bubbles.
***note: I did end up having a couple bubbles it was not the end of the world because of the style of painting, I was able to disguise them under layers of paint and acrylic gel.
Step 2
Wait for glue to dry. Lots of Masterclass is spent waiting for things to dry. Might want to tell a story about how your weekend went, or maybe work on other projects you haven't quite finished yet, either way telling a joke usually makes the time pass faster. Here is one I like to use. it generally gets a good laugh.
What did sushi A say to sushi B?... WASABI!
Everyone loves it.
Step 3
Mix your colours. and start painting. This part is very fun. Match your paint to the colour in the picture and paint over it.
Step 4
while doing step 3 add some acrylic gel. to add texture and look more painterly.
Step 5
Once you have gotten the painting looking the way you want, it's time to start on the frame. First, start building up the shape you want. I used hot glue
***Note: next time I would try using plasticine because it's easier to mold, then paper machéing it to harden it.
Step 6
Cover the frame area with metallic tape.
***Note: the tape can be a bit difficult to use because peeling the backing off can be tricky.
Step 7
Use black and brown paint to create more dimension in the frame.
Step 8
FEV the crap out of the frame. Maybe add a little to the painting to create the effect of breakdown.
