Uniquely designed and created by Portrait Artist Glenda Brown
After years of painting on canvas, Glenda discovered the remarkable experience of painting on copper. The warm rosy sheen of copper blends or an added aged patina works with her style of painting.
After researching the qualities of copper, She discovered that copper, unlike canvas or wood is a very durable support that cannot be affected by humidity or temperature. In fact, copper was used by master artists hundreds of years ago.
Glenda carefully sands, grinds, cleans and cuts 16 gauge copper sheets for each of her paintings. She prepare the surface to receive and hold oil paints. The process is challenging, but the results are remarkable and different from a painting on canvas. The luminosity and glow of painting portraits and things Glenda loves can be enhanced by exposed copper edges and/or diamond dust when the need complements the painting.
