Guitar Project
They asked me earlier this year if I would paint on a guitar, but I just had too much on my plate at the time. So I said yes, because I have always fancied the idea of painting on a guitar. It is part of a charity event to raise funds with the aim of giving musical tuition to every school kid in the country, all the more reason to become a part of it: http://musicalyouthfoundation.org/ Along the way I managed to get Anja Coyne and Jimi Shields on board with art guitars of their own. The grand opening is next Thursday, 24th May 2012, and upstairs in the Stephens Green Centre, Dublin, Ireland. Please come along and support this worthy cause.
The following are a selection of photos documenting the creation of my “Atlantic Blues”…I hope you enjoy them.
Evite Instrumental Art
Chris Maher stripped and sanded the guitar for me, I added a coat of acrylic primer.
After hours I set it up on my easel…
…and started an under-painting in acrylics.
...more sky...
...and some waves...
...and some sea...
...atlantic beginning to show...
After the acrylics I gave it the final once-over with oil paints and a palette knife.
