STREET MAGIC by STEVEN LAMB

STEVEN LAMB uses his camera to record a possible scene and then works and reworks the row material into a painting which bears very little resemblance to its source. He paints to an outline previously prepared on paper and transferred to canvas on a board. He uses paste and fine sand to enhance the texture of the undercoats of acrylics. His faces are done with watercolor over pastels. He sometimes uses a German pencil for fine details. He achieves a depth to his acrylics by the judicious use of swab dipped in alcohol to bring out the highlights.
