The worktitle is Jumping Man. The latest thing I did was to add some backlight effects. I have left the effect soft to not overdo it. As I told before the image of the jumping man I found on the internet. The dark parts in the mans body are influenced by the underpainting. The background is my own invention. As you can see I have also included goldleaf in the painting.
The underpainting is complete different. The man I painted in a earth-green like color. This is the classical italian way of doing that. There it is called verdaccio . I did used different colors then the suggested black, yellow and white. The french used more a greylike color.
I first put gold leaf on the canvas. Only then I started doing the underpainting. This works very well and I get nice sharp divisions between the gold leaf and the paint.
The painting is 115 x 85 cm. It is done on linen with handmade oil paint....
