Multiverse Wars (Modernizing the Masters) Initiate
A reinvention of Edmund Leighton's classic masterpiece The Accolade.
Initiate is the next installment to the Modernizing the Masters collection by artist C.S.Hawks.
This parody remake was hand painted from scratch in the Old Way of the Prestige Technique.
How the art is crafted:
Pre-gessoed canvas is cut to a desired size
A piece of industrial masonite style panel is cut to size
And prepared with a gesso glue
While the canvas is soaking in water
The wet canvas is gently placed onto the prepared industrial panel
Then the canvas is lightly brushed with a flat edge to remove excess gesso
The new canvas panel sets for 24 hours to cure
Once cured
Drawing is performed by the hands of our artist.
Once drawn
Painting is performed by the hands of our artist.
Like a copper plate made for pressing vinyl records,
The original painting is crafted.
We call this method the Old Way of the Prestige Technique.
Prints of the painting are available for sale in 2 sizes on satin paper card stock that are signed on the back for authenticity by the artist.
A made to order special canvas panel print production is available with embellishment of texture on the canvas print performed by our artist, and framed.
The canvas panel print is made and mounted to it's panel in the way of the “Prestige Technique” as mentioned above. Hand painted embellishments are brush sculpted by the artist with a unique technique working in acrylic medium, and continuous cure monitoring. Signed on the back for authenticity by the artist C.S.Hawks.
