"Early Morning Awakening" is a captivating large oil on canvas painting that showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his exploration of skin tones and their interaction with the surrounding environment.
Zakhar Shevchuk dedicated nearly two months to this painting, diligently working on it almost every day. During this process, he delved into a newfound perception of skin colour and its relationship with the figure's surroundings. Fascinated by the luminosity of human skin, Zakhar aimed to capture this radiant quality on the canvas.
To achieve the desired effect, the artist meticulously applied and reapplied layers of oil paint. He discovered that mixing oil paints on the palette wasn't always sufficient to attain the desired colour. Instead, multiple layers were superimposed, with each layer complementing the previous one rather than covering it. The result is an optical illusion of a specific undertone when viewed from a distance, highlighting Zakhar's skilful layering technique.
