The first week back in the studio has been very busy. Here is one of the three paintings I projected. And the gobs of color I mixed.
I was worried because I am painting over an old painting and thought the paint wouldn't stick well. When I mixed my medium the varnish bottle seemed to control itself — too much went in.
I also thought that the painting underneath would make my eyes criss-cross. It did but the paint went on so well, it made applying the paint almost better than sex.
Here is as far as I got. Next week it will be ready to hang.
I received a comment by email:
ReplyDeleteI love this painting...love the colors...POV....."Stairway to Heaven"
Question.....when you project the image from your photograph do you do it with a felt tip pen??? Great idea.
The answer is: I draw with a fine tip pen directly in very diluted oil paint and sometimes block in larger parts when I need to know where darks and lights go
ReplyDeleteI mean a brush not a pen -- a fine tip brush
