Ship and Tulip Continued

Back to my demonstration oil painting in glazes.

Step 10:

With the bright red of the accents, I had to harmonize the painting. I put a few brushstrokes of alizarin crimson into the draping and liked it so much that I put a glaze over the whole background with violet in the creases.

The objects look like they are floating because I haven't added highlights to the material yet.

I've dragged the glaze colour into the ship base, added it into the frame, tulips and front metal can.

At this point I'm only using safflower oil as an additive to the oil paint.
