Product description:Beautiful "Velvet #1" is the eighteenth painting in my "Deadheads" series. My process begins with a collection of deadheaded flowers from garden at our home in SW Denver. My wife, Kathy, photographs the flowers and uploads the the pictures to be digitized. I work with the images in a photo enhancement software to adjust placement, values, shadows, and contrast and compose a working draft. Most of the time I stretch and prime my own canvases. Next I lay down the primary base colors of the selected image.Finally, I seal the finished painting to preserve the integrity of the colors; red, purple, orange,and yellow. Kathy named it "Velvet" because of the black background. Just like an Elvis painting.
