Holbein - Execution Phases #WorkInProgress
Follow the progress from the initial drawing to the final painting.
Created using a mixed technique on a mdf board, this piece measures 63 x 22 cm.
What is the definition of mixed media technique?
The first step involved creating initial color sketches using egg tempera, a type of paint made from egg yolk and colored pigment, to establish the colors and figures.
After allowing the initial tempera layers to dry, the artist proceeds to apply oil colors, concentrating on enhancing the contrast between lights and darks while adding intricate details to impart a sense of precision and depth to the image.
