SERIES
Abraxas 1D
|
Abraxas series (1996) Named after a farm outside Toronto, Canada, this series grew out of some sketches made there in 1996. At this time Jeffcoat began working in a new and now favored medium, oil on vellum. Modern vellum is a very lightly toothed treated paper. It has a transluscence that helps to create a sense of space not availiable on ordinary paper or canvas. On vellum it is also easier to move and wash down paint than on other supports. |
