Second Glazes on Storybook

I'm getting close to the finish of this painting. Tomorrow I'll put the rest of the books in the shelf, touch up the flor and finish the girls skin and hair(which is done in oils).

While the oil paint dries for a few days, I'll finish the dresses and put the trompe l'oile pages on the side of the canvas.



I'll be glad to hand this one over to the Smooth Rock Falls Public Library.

Oil Painting Workshops

The Basics of Oil Painting by Pam Dallaire

(Starting Sept 2011 in Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario and March 2012 in Timmins, Ontario)

A series of oil painting workshops for the beginner in oil. In the first workshop you will learn everything you need to get started. We will discuss traditional and modern application of oil glazes, canvas supports, framing options, oil paints, mediums, brushes, varnishing, and much more. I’ll take the mystery out of oil painting.

In the second workshop of the series you will learn to paint an underpainting in black and white acrylic paint, using the reference photo above. We will also discuss traditional and modern application of oil glazes.

In workshop three you will learn to apply transparent oil glazes with colour directly from the tube.

In workshop four, you will learn to mix oil colours and apply the final accents to the painting. With the knowledge gained from this series of workshops, you will be able to paint both traditional oil glazes and modern methods of oil glazing.

You can download the pdf advertisement from the SRF Art Center website.

Glazing with Oils

I've been working and here are the updates.

I have to do a quick oil painting in layers for a workshop in September so here are the steps so far.

Model Ship and Tulips:

Step 8: Added a thicker glaze of Burnt Umber and Lemon Yellow on background and some shadows. Then added Cad Red Med and Alizarin Crimson glaze in specific areas. Added the lemon yellow to the mix to make orange areas.



Step 7: Second, thicker, yellow glaze with Indian Yellow.



Step 6: The finished greyscale and the first colour glaze in Indian Yellow. (Very thin.)



Step 5: Continuing to develop the greyscale to where I need it. I'm also thinking how the glazing colours should be applied.



Step 4: Almost done the underpainting.



Step 3: Continue to work on the underpainting which needs as much detail as I want the finished piece to have.



Step 2: Start of the Acrylic Underpainting.



Step 1: Transferring the image.

And, Kitten in Black and White:

Step 1: Graphite on the wooden panel didn't work so well, so...

Step 2: I changed to acrylic.
