This is a series of 3 large oil paintings that are approximately 5ft x 9ft scroll canvases. They hang from wooden dowels, with one also at the bottom for weighing down.
I had dreams of painting large and have had the opportunity to do a mural or two so this is very exciting.
In preparing canvases I needed to use a heavy duty sewing machine, as well as work out the logistics of working on such a large piece. I chose pre-gessoed canvases, sewed pockets at the top and bottom for the dowels and stained the canvases with acrylic burnt umber.
