Turban: Acrylic ACEO painting
Turban
2.5 x 3.5
SOLD
Turbans are worn commonly by men in the Northern part of Nigeria and can come in various colours with white being the commonest colour. During festivals like the Durbar festival.
They dress colourfully and mount colourfully dressed horses and walk down the streets. I have never personally been to a Durbar festival but it's a major event in Nigeria.
Quite interestingly these turbans are becoming a big fashion trend for a lot of women who wear them as hats.
I have seen some made from great fabric even feathers but I can never seem to understand why they are considered fashionable. And they cost quite a fortune.

A Painting surface or support is the surface on which paint is applied and it depends on the kind of painting media (i: e paint) you have chosen to use. There are different types of painting surfaces or supports that can be used for painting e: g canvas, hard board, paper or even a wall.
Acrylic paint is very beautiful but can be very annoying and frustrating to use. Somehow when I was starting off in my world of painting I thought acrylic paint could be applied to any surface (I do not know where I got that notion!), but I soon discovered it is not true.
Watercolour is a very clean medium to use. It is not as messy as Oil or Acrylic and there are no solvents to work with thus making it very safe and child friendly too.
This video was shot while in my painting studio creating a painting of a Field of Daisies with Acrylics. Hope you enjoy it.
This is a video showing the progress I made when I was creating an Acrylic painting of an African village. It was painted on canvas board.
This video shows me at work creating a Flower bed painting with Acrylics. This is a speed painting from the beginning to the end. Hope you enjoy it.
This is research addressing questions about protected characteristics with honesty and transparency. The aim was to produce an equality and diversity factsheet that would help to inform Wessex Appraisal Services. We know that the healthcare profession tends to attract diversity and the findings from this research show doctors in Dorset and Hampshire are more ethnically diverse (23%) compared to the population (4.4%) as well as Nationally (13%). We hope that through these results doctors would be able to recognise they have shared characteristics thus they are not alone.
