Working with Modeling Paste - by Surreality Art

Underneath 99.9% of my paintings is "Modeling Paste" placed on top of the canvas which is what gives the painting so much texture to begin with. Instead of posting a finished piece of artwork, today I decided to post a photo of one of the fundamental elements to my paintings... of course a classic Buddha with textured Modeling Paste. When this dries, I plan on busting out a rainbow of colors to paint him with using black as the shadowy contrast color. I'll keep you updated on this work in progress.

Traveling by means of meditation, beyond and past this physical world, beyond our present thoughts & emotions and deeper still, traveling past our ego to the most subtle and genuine part of ourselves... our true authentic self.

This painting has caught a phase in time where the obscuring of light creates a place where light and dark both exist simultaneously, where both opposites compliment one another in an amazing show of light and shadow.

The Lunar Eclipse, when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, is illustrated here to represent our own outer-lying hopes, wishes, wants and desires, becoming celestial bodies casting shadow and light upon the physical world just waiting to materialize.
