texture is one of the most imortant aspects to my artworks and it is also the hardest part to get accross through a picture but per haps if a explain the process a little you'll better understand what is going on. each painting is but up as a series of layers the 1st is normaly something dark this is usualy to get the ball rolling so it is very rough the and endes up setting the tone for how much texture is going to run accross the whole painting. the next layers are to build up the character and colours these can be as few is 3 or 4 but as many as 10 and sometimes more. At this stage the painting is a mess of usually bright colours and abstract characters. the final stage is to work my way back through the layers to reveal the final product. sometimes in a painting i might repeat the building up and scraping back many times before i get the tone right.
