Bevia’s method commences with careful underpainting, a foundational step where he establishes the composition and tonal values using a monochromatic palette. This initial layer serves as the structural backbone upon which he builds the subsequent intricate layers. Bevia’s artistry truly shines as he delicately applies thin, translucent layers of paint, allowing the luminosity of colors to emerge gradually. With each successive layer, he achieves depth and richness, infusing his canvases with an earthy and time-worn quality reminiscent of classical artworks. Through this meticulous technique of layering and the thoughtful application of color, Bevia evokes a sense of nostalgia and captures the serene beauty of landscapes, transporting viewers to a world steeped in the evocative allure of the past.
