I finished this cityscape painting in a class taught by Sandra Duran Wilson at the Santa Fe School of Art.

I started by laying down an assortment of acrylic gels and textures onto the board. My new favorite texture is white opaque flakes by Liquitex. You can see the results of this medium along the upper right corner of the piece sweeping down the side of the clock. The “buildings” are squares of the plaster cloth used for making casts for broken bones.

I covered the textures in several layers of color washes and then added the clock and the carpet with soft gel transfers. More color and texture was added. The nude figure is a digital print on a skin of Golden fiber paste. This 10″ x 8″ painting is a study for a larger piece.
