par de deux by Dee Cowell

The bull's revenge! Painted on canvas with acrylic, Notice the deliberate mistake? The horns are meant to curve together, but I wanted a line to point to the matador so changed the horn at the back - artistic license! I painted the cape in bright colours, then took a deep breath and scumbled it back, in the top left corner with "a dusty effect" so that the viewer's attention is drawn down to the drama about to take place. The composition of the painting took a lot of thought and planning, before I started to paint it. I draw big abstract shapes, allocating the space and tweaking it, before I draw the items in.
