Mitochondria
Mitochondria
Mitochondria is a green and cream textured abstract painting using mixed media with Farrow and Ball paints on Canvas.
Samuel created this painting inspired by the beautiful forms found in nature, like an imagined view through a microscope at cells and bacteria. It was named by his friend Becky.
Samuel started with the colour palette, choosing to use only Farrow and Ball paints for this composition, in particular; Studio Green, Green Smoke, Lichen, Drop Cloth, StirAbout and School House White. He then created a digital painting as a template for the shapes he would then transfer onto a textured canvas.
Once he laid the base forms, he added organic shapes, dotwork and linework to create this pleasing and detailed artwork.
For Mitochondria, Samuel achieved a textured background using only a coarse and fine textured paste. This was spread and layered over a Winsor and Newton 76cm x 101.5cm cotton canvas which was then fixed within a white stained oak frame measuring 79cm x 104.5cm.
