"Fortress of the Oracle" by Sherwin Long

stage1(mapping the composition on the wood)
medium: Charcoal, Acrylic Paint
surface: wood
11"x 9"
This is the first stage of my painting process.  I draw the composition on the surface in charcoal pencil, and mark where the highlights will be.  Then slowly do washes of acrylic paint on the wood to build up different color variations.


stage 2 (The Finish)
medium: Spray Paint, Acrylic, Charcoal
In the 2nd stage I spray painted the background red. Then added the stencils in.  This is the hardest part to me because I have to decide where the symbols and letters will go to make a effective and appealing composition.  This piece is about the home of the oracle in my dreams.
