"Tinted Canvas"
The Art Work of Herschel Fall
It was in part thru experimentation and an overabundance of curiosity that he began working with multiple mediums . . . acrylics, oils, watercolors, and pencil.
Oils and acrylics added "body" to his work, as well as a means to express his desires for blending and shading. He began on paper, but quickly became aware of the the potential inhenent in working on canvas.
Herschel is a wet-on-wet painter, as it allows him ample time to make changes and to blend his colors.
The goal: to bring to the canvas both visual interpretation and personal experience . . .an addition of subltle changes and meanings.
