Leda and the Swan - Nicholas Robertson

Leda and the Swan by Nicholas Robertson Painting 19.7 x 27.6 :: This came about by accident the female reference I was working with needed a second ‘entity’ to make the composition work. I tried a dog a peacock and others before viewing local swans. The composition drawings slowly began to coalesce to feel like a reluctant Leda and a pushy swan. Not intended but serendipity is all part of picture making. The work consists of a Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange then opaque pigments are used to lay down the undercoating of some of the subject matter. Subsequently using acrylic paint in washes which has been thinned using Liquidex airbrush medium. This layering of the work allows for subtle tonal attributes that give depth and intensity. The overall result is an acrylic painting with a degree of luminosity rather than the usual flat acrylic finish. A suggested frame width of at least 60mm for this painting. This makes for the best visual effect and prevents warping :: Type: Painting Medium: Acrylic Style: Modern Subject: Women Width: 19.7 Height: 27.6 Depth: 0.5 Weight: 1.4 lbs Framed: no :: All art on Zatista is original and signed.
