An other example of my fossil
art.
I painted the sides black
matte
and varnished them with a satin
coat.

All about DIPTYCHS, TRIPTYCHS, QUADTYCH and POLYPTYCHS
What's a
POLYPTYCH ?
(pronounced POL-ip-
tik)
A work consisting of
four or
more paintings.
A DIPTYCH is a
drawing or
painting in two parts.
It is most usually a continuous but
divided image, but may also be
composed of separate, closely related
images.
The word diptych
comes from
the greek root "dis", meaning two, and
"ptykhe", meaning "fold".
A TRIPTYCH is picture in
three parts.
(Pronunciation: trip-
tick)
The triptych is a very popular
format in the arts for a range of
reasons:
The three-act dramatic structure is also
evident in the application of the triptych
format by many artists, with the panels
representing a beginning, a middle
and an end.
A QUADTYCH:
SERIES of four
seperate canvases.
Anything above a series of three
paintings can be called a
polyptych
Why would you want to paint on
multiples?
1) More canvases add more interest.
2) Multiple canvases will spark your
creativity.
3) Mini-canvases can be rearranged like
a puzzle.
Framing each canvas individually is not really an option. Multiple canvas paintings should be painted on professional-quality gallery wrap canvas, and hung close together when finished.
