High quality oil and raw pigments are emulsified with copal medium and poured onto untreated, 15 oz. canvas. Copal medium as a vehicle for pigment stains/pouring techniques is very unique in how it evaporates and therefore begins to dry/solidify quicker than other oil mediums, allowing for unmatched color and surface effects. This technique is further complicated by wet-into wet pours, tilting the canvas to engage gravity in the shaping of the pours and layering variations of transparency and opacity to structure the composition and create a dynamic and emotional palette and layering effects.
