Welcome Back!
Another episode on Painting with Oils. Last week I looked into texture and how I can build up the illusion of a wall – a very Greek Marble wall. I have continued to drain my tube of white paint and have used different pressures when applying the paint with my brush. I have also started to use different sizes of brushes in order to reach my intended feel and those hard to reach/ create spots on the canvas. I have started to add accent colours of red and yellow (ochre) near the bottom left hand corner to introduce rock and stone into the painting. The colours are faint and subtle as I have mixed them in with the white to capture the desired tint. It does not look like much when you are staring at the same white canvas with only minor adjustments every 20 minutes. However, I think it is starting to come to life. The many, many hours given to this painting just might be paying off. Hopefully, the photo I am recreating will be impressed.
PS. I am sure you are wondering, where is this photo you keep talking about. I will reveal the final painting with the photo at the end of this inquiry project. I do not want you to have any expectations of how it is “supposed” to look. 🙂
You’ll just have to keep tuning in each week for the chance to be a part of the final reveal.…
