Today, i completed the painting of the Birdman. I completed the last wing and worked in darker areas around the paintng to give it more depth nd contrast. This is my first comleted board painting and I feel quite pleased with the end result. However, the figure is faded into the wood and does not stand out much, it is quite flat. Perhaps if i used a better primer over the wood or do an acrylic base before i paint with oils, it will lift the image off the board more, give it more dimension, and if I used white acrylic, the oil colours may stand out more, become brighter? Composition is something I also need to consider, as parts of the figure dipear of the board. This could be to add an illusion of not being able to fully see the overall figure, there is still some unkown, some mystery, to it, but I may need to reconsider the scale.
