Need:

The challenge was to paint an object or character with lots of color value. For this design, I reflected back on my childhood when I read many Marvel comics.  I chose the character Silver Surfer because he depicts a visually interesting character with a lot of differing values.

Design Solution:

The painting reflects a multi-step process and the use of acrylic paint. The first step consists of creating an under layer of paint in order to visually enhance the value found in this painting. The second step is the application of an over layer with two complementary colors in order to build more depth in the piece.

Outcome:

Silver Surfer depicts both high value and intricate detail.  The painting was recently selected to be displayed at University of Wisconsin Whitewater Arts Center for patrons of the arts to view and enjoy.
