Yesterday
„Yesterday“ (Diptychon) -
Acrylic on Canvas - 100x140cm + 100x40cm
When I'm busy with a
topic, I often paint a small series of pictures about it.
Now I had already
painted two large format pictures, which have to do with music and I
wanted to make one more.
It should be a band
everyone knows and nobody asks:
"who is this
?"
Which band is so
well-known that everyone knows it?
There is only one thing for me: the Beatles.
So I searched for
pictures in the internet, where they are easy to recognize.
Bearded - they were
not always like that.
Young - yes, I found
something that I could use.
I layed down the two
screens on the floor because I was worried
about the flow down
of the color.
So I started to paint
the background. However, I quickly landed on
Paul's face and then
I painted Ringo, George and John.
Soon
I realized that it was a little uncomfortable on the knees actually
and I
put the canvas on the easel.
I had chosen a
template in which the boys still looked like little boys.
Without
more detailed knowledge of the Beatles' appearance, they might not have
been recognized - after all, there should be some younger people who have
not had much to do with them.
So I decided to put on John his round glasses - so everyone knows
him.
In the kitchen I
found what I needed and grabbed the cover of
a hotplate, which had
the desired diameter.
With it I painted the
frame of the spectacle lens.
Aha, now you could
recognize him, even though John did not know about his poor eyesight at
the time.
John Lennon with his
round glasses on his nose and the other three guys - yes, that had to be
the Beatles!
Now I let the work
rest overnight.
The next morning I
was very surprised that the turquoise color that I had mixed with
fluorescent acrylic paints looked quite green, which bothered me
especially in the background.
Therefore, I mixed a
new bluish "turquoise" and painted with the spatula again over
the already created places.
At the bright white
headlamps some of the rays had to be emphasized
a little more.
Now I glazed with a
foam roller, the faces from the left with
Indian yellow to the
right with Mauve.
In the lower part of
the picture, a coffee-brown hue was added.
I chosed now the
title "Yesterday".
I recorded the
project with the video camera to place it onto
my YouTube channel.
Sure, as background
music had to run the Beatles music.
But it's always a
copyright issue with the music that you release with the video.
That's why I
unfortunately had to use a different piece of music.
