AJ ACCENTS IN 3D:- ORIGINAL NEW MODERN METHOD IN 3D REVERSE PAINTING

Contemporary Abstract reverse painted 3D Art across multiple layers

As with a large number of Aussies played many sports competively.

Worked part-time from Form 4 (year 10) to help pay for my schooling, went to University and messed about too much, did not finish engineering.

Started working in Manufacturing across many industries then settled in plastics & rubber for over 30 years reaching GM level in many Overseas and Australian Companies responsible for up to 1000 people. Have designed and built full production facvilities and specialised machinery.

This back ground developed into designing children's 3D room items of night lights, hot air balloons et., then into self-taught reverse painting. Verre Eglomise/Hinterglasmalerei style of an acient method with new material.

After first sketching the idea, then determining the separation stages and layers as desired, then placed onto the rear of each layer for painting.

Techniques of choice includes using all pen illustration, injection, brush, spray, flood and palette knife on rear of clear surfaces including the modification of surface finish prior to hand painting through the initial application of hand illustration, then developing the ability to apply the finishing stroke first through to the background layer last, in reverse hand painting.
