Description
A small painting of my red hen in my orange grove in Andalucia, Spain. Despite its size a lot of work went into this painting because I used egg tempera paints on a wood board primed with universal gesso, a method of painting used by the first renaissance artists before the discovery of oil paints. I found this a slow process because, unlike watercolours, the paint has to be applied in layers. I sprayed the finished painting with a special fixative varnish.
Sennelier egg tempera paints on wood panel primed with universal gesso and varnished with Schmincke watercolour fixative. 25cm x 20cm.
