MARCO CAGNETTI’S PICTORIAL TECNIQUE

Energy’s the secret of my art, which finds its expressive ability thanks to the pictorial tecnique representing my artistic evolution. It departs from the blank canvas, with a brush I cover the surface using gouache, usually blue. When its dry I start drawing with a red pencil. After finishing drawing, I fix it with a shellac spray.  Having done that, I start colouring using very thin brushes.  The colour range I use is wide, with poster colours, oil and acrylic especially those that have glitter in them. I often start with warm colours, such as red, yellow, orange, etc. Later I balance them with cold colours such as blue, green, black, etc. I some cases I use colour mix, like poster with acrylic, due to their common water base. After I finish the painting, I tarnish it completely, in order to give more bright  and luminosity to every colour
