Jake Hose Painting Methods
ake's methods are a creative mixture of techniques used by both old and modern day Masters. What makes his signature style refreshing is his "out of the box" approach to art. "Uniqueness is very important to me, to accomplish this, I needed to bend rules and study all I could from other artists while experimenting a great deal. This took literally thousands of hours of experimentation."
His style is forging a legacy that is inspiring to artists too. His portfolio represents creative freedom and intellectual depth, not hindered by negativity, doubt, or fear. "What excites me about art is adventure, passion, and daring creativity, art that survives the decor trends of today. Fine art that reflects an artist's emotions, intellectual and spiritual dimensions that inspires an audience."
When it comes to color, Jake believes the more color the better.
Acrylic Painting Media
He mainly paints in acrylic on canvas or on glass. Some paintings have many layers of paint to create depth, texture and jewel-like illumination.
When Jake is planning a painting, he will methodically break the piece down into articulated processes. Above is a series of preliminary sketches with a color diagram, all refining the conceptual layout of the painting called "Love that Lasts Forever" Since his paintings are done with many complex colors glazed over each other, it is critical that the colors used within each layer are precisely planned out before the piece is actually created.
A deep color study went into finding true colors that were used by the old Masters during the Northern Renaissance. Jake then mixed a pallet of acrylic paint that would be the foundation to mix other colors from.
Above is a look at the Princess of Seigenburg. The painting technique was done by using two forms of traditional glazing methods together. Jake loves using many different glazing methods in his paintings.
