Veronica Painting Finished
I had some uncertainty doing this but I like the way it turned out.
I’m still getting comfortable with oils. I have to accept the fact that I have to paint from dark to light. I now know that waiting four days in between painting after putting in the darks is too long. Still looking for a sharp edge from a brush while painting with oils. I also want to play a little more and on the other end, I’d like to have a little more control on the shadows from the hair on the face.
Painting Veronica: Step 1
I probably won’t be able to get back to this until Saturday. Denis Leary tomorrow, dinners on Thurs and Fri
From Twitter as I was painting tonight:
# Darks. I think that’s all for tonight. Hard to really fight to get myself to paint for some reason
# Using a butcher tray for a palette. Crazy thing about water-mixable oils, I just soak the tray in water to clean it
# And I got these two #8 kolinsky sable brushes for about 1/2 off (normally $70 or so each).
# Oils were half off at the local art supply place
# Painting for the next 45 minutes or so
