Description
Colin and Michael, both into golf and michael's just taken up karate lessons, so that he can (one day) beat up a kid at school called 'Trev' who always steals his lunch.Acrylics and markers, 40 x 50cm on box canvas
This is one of my paintings that will be available at the Intoxicated Demons gallery in Berlin [link]

This is very good. (But I must say that I requested a print by accident and I don't know how to cancel it. However, if I was a person who requests prints, I guess I would do that here.)

Is that a brayer your using for the backround? Why the red near the father?
Looks good by the way.

Actually I used a bone folder for most of the background.. I wanted the father to be the dominant character and I thought that the orange around him would contrast with his tones and help bring him forward, whereas I used those dull earthy colours around the son to help push him backwards - to add more depth to the painting. Thanks for the comment!

Ps. I know this isn't what bone folders are for - I just happened to have one close by!
