DESCRIPTION:
Ben Jeffrey is a diverse and skillful artist who's portraits are stunning. This fabulous portrait of Freddie Mercury evokes all the feelings of Live Aid and Queen as an iconic band. this limited edition is beautifully finished in 24 ct Gold Leaf.
A lot of the time a painting evolves as he paints it. Ben always has a basic composition in mind but he lets brush come up with the shapes and he chooses colour almost on the spot. Other times Jeffery sees an image in his head and quickly sketch it out.
He normally works in two stages: he first paints the entire canvas in base colours. After it has dried, he paints a second layer, adding more and more detail. After he finishes a painting, he leaves it a day or so before look at it again, this helps Ben pick up on areas that need changing.
His work is fairly diverse, ranging from portraits to landscapes, in both pencil and oils. He loves working with vivid, bright colours to create a unique and modern style. He is huge Sci-fi movie fan and he loves special effects.
