Relief painting

This relief on canvas by our entrant Adriana Potkanska depicts a surreal tree with hands raising up amongst branches. A relief painting is carved, creating a “raised” two-dimensional surface on a canvas, which is then painted. This unique way of depicting art can show true thought and emotive language behind the work of the artist. Using sculpting as a way of portraying a 3D effect as the art protrudes off the canvas can give a whole new experience to this work.

In this class, Decorative Artisan, Ellie Ellis, teaches her students how to create this simple but elegant bas relief piece using a step by step process. Students will learn about the art of Bas Relief (a sculpture that projects slightly from a background), what materials to use and how to carve, sculpt and mold.

Lots of you asked about this spefici tutorial, so I decided to reveal this special painting tutorial as a one time purchase on my Patreon here...

The image is a close-up of a white, textured, abstract portrait. The face is created with thick, layered paint strokes, giving it a three-dimensional appearance. The subject's eyes are closed, and their mouth is slightly parted. The overall effect is one of peace and tranquility.
