Getting Closer


We are down to the last week of form painting. So far it is coming together. Photo shows a bit of drying in (matt areas where the oil from the paint has sunk in) which will be taken care of with a bit of retouch varnish. Using a small round nylon brush with opaque mixtures of oil paint. Sometimes I'll use a tiny bit of medium when the paint is stiff and doesn't spread easily. We are working on oil primed linen canvas as our support. Mine has a bit of texture, others' are very smooth.
