1. The stone
as it was found on a riverbank. Stones polished by running water
or the sea are generally flatter and more rounded than those found
on a mountain. The first thing Ciruelo does is
to prepare a series of sketches based on what he wants to paint
and on what the stone itself suggests.
2. Painting
on stone follows the same process as painting on paper or cardboard.
The ideal tool is the airbrush so adhesive masks and stencils
can be used. As you can see the final result is a three dimensional
piece of art; Petropictos is something halfway
between a painting and a sculpture. |
