Resistance, Defeat, Freedom






In consecutive order, Resistance, Defeat and Freedom were completed during the span between April and June. While I used oil paints for all, Resistance and Freedom were done on canvas but I experimented a little on gesso board with Defeat.

The process took a longer time because gesso boards as you know, are completely smooth. It took a few layers and quite some time for each to dry before I could continue working. Out of the three my favorite happens to be Defeat because of the effort it took to complete. I am usually impatient while painting but I am glad I took the time to finish this one.
