I thought The Tardis was the
perfect choice for this year’s theme.
Having two Dr. Who fans in my home, I’ve discovered how serious Dr. Who
fans are! ‘The Tardis’ is the booth Dr.
Who steps into so he can travel through time.
I began the piece with two base coats of what I’m now calling ‘Tardis
Blue.’ After that, the lion’s share of
time was spent working out the mathematical dimensions. Once that was worked out, I began laying
things out, using a charcoal plumb line, then taping them. Yes, indeed, straight lines are the most
difficult thing for me to paint! Shadows and highlights, weathering, then the
windows and beacon were next. The final
touch was the iridescents streaming from the beacon and windows. This piece was painted with a combination of
acrylic, matt medium, latex and iridescent acrylics, and finished with a coat
of varnish.
