Cigar Smoking Blue Collar Hunk in a Cap with a Tank Top, 11x14 inches acrylic on paper by Kenney Mencher
FREE SHIPPING Shipping takes 3-4 Weeks This ships from Round Lake Beach, Illinois. A suburb outside of Chicago. I use UPS and sometimes US Post.
Lately I've been experimenting with different imagery, materials, techniques and color. I've been looking at a lot of my Bay Area Figurative artist favorites, David Park, Elmer Bischoff, Richard Diebenkorn, and James Weeks, Paul Wonner, Nathan Oliveira, Glenn Wessels, Wayne Thiebaud, Raimonds Staprans, and James Weeks.
I sketch the composition out using crayon and then paint successive layers of acrylic over them using "non-local colors."
“Local color” refers to an artist choosing to paint an object or person using the colors that they actually see. For instance, when painting a red rose, the artist would be using local color if they painted the rose using reds. If the rose is painted blue, then they would not be using local color.
Working on paper with acrylic makes me a little less nervous to experiment and speeds the process up especially in terms of drying times.
