I would like to show a first steps in the creating of my new painting “Terrestrial Grief” to you.
I have started to work on canvas 2 weeks ago. I am creating this canvas with using old master’s technique and materials. As example I use a flake white, special prepared linen oil.
I hope to finish this artwork during this spring.
Some words about the painting. It has biblical subject. You see the moment when Maria holds fabric with tortured Christ’s blood. I will paint the figure of the Christ that carrying the cross in the crowd of the people at the right top corner of the painting. This part will have bright light.
I have made the drawing and invoice by the brush on canvas.

I want to show all stages in the creating of this painting to you. I think it’s interesting. Here you can see the result after two weeks. Next stage of this artwork I hope to put into this thread at April.
