30 in 30, #12

9 x 10

oil on canvas, $95

Thought I would give you a glimpse of a couple of stages I usually go through with these paintings for the "30 Paintings in 30 Days" challenge.

I start off with a light drawing, spray a fixative, then a wash of yellow ochre and red, giving the painting a warm under tone.

Burnt sienna and ultra marine blue makes a darker mixture for establishing darks and lights and values. This is followed by adding color to the painting.





I'm a couple of days ahead on the paintings and I especially like tomorrow's painting #13. Stay tuned!
