My #landscapepainting still needs lots of work but it’s coming together. I still need to add layers of color, especially the foreground.

Starting a new #oilpainting #portrait sketch and #imprimatura. The leaves and details will be a challenge in #patience.

Latest #landscape #oilpainting in the works. Beginning #grisaille layer on top of the #imprimaturabistre #classical-painting #californialandscape

Work-in-progress. A portrait of Bob using #classicaloilpainting techniques. Next steps glazing and color. #grisaille #oilpaintingportrait #klineacademy #portraitpainting #classicaloilpainting #oiloncanvas

I’m taking a classic oil painting class at Kline Academy and have been working on a master copy of #guidocagnacci “The Death of Cleopatra” c. 1645-55. After 6 weeks, I’m sill working on the #grisaille underpainting layer but hope to move onto staining and coloring soon.

First oil painting in a long time. Distant Drums Roses in a white vase.

I'm posting one of my first oil pastels from last month. An apple on my windowsill leaving the background very abstract. #oilpastel #stilllife #apple #oilpastelstilllife #sennelieroillastels

I'm giving Bluesky social a try for all the right reasons.
