On to new work
Here is a new painting I’ve started, a “rock slide”. I set this up inside an antique wooden crate, and lined the back of the crate with some very dark paper. The top photograph shows very initial oil washes to reinforce the pencil layout. The second photograph shows a second layer of oil washes, with the paint applied a bit more opaquely. I want to explore painting varying shades of white tones in this piece, so I have started to separate the rocks from one another by mixing different shades of greys.
I’m also going to be starting a large colored pencil piece on Rtistx board tomorrow, and I’m very excited about this one! More on that soon.
I’m also working on getting details together to have my website updated. I can’t quite believe it hasn’t been updated since May of 2009. More information will follow on that – specifically when a new “gallery” page is in place of my new stones pieces.
Nice Debbi! You must be enjoying the oils. The stones remind me of Briggs Beach and summer in Little Compton which feels good on a cold day like today!
