Media: Oil on Ampersand Gesso Panel
Size: 5x7 in
Sold
I had to work on this on two consecutive days. I tend to forget how slippery the paint is on
these gesso panels if I haven't previously applied a layer of lead ground, or
if I don't use an Alkyd Medium in the early stages, so that later in the
process the paint will grab a bit more.
I got so far on what I might call and underpainting or a block-in on the
first day, and packed it in until the next day when that first layer gripped
the ensuing brush strokes a bit more, and thus more pleasing to work with. The deer appeared during this second day. I could have stayed longer, but I thought I
had better get on down to Bandon, and see what I might find on the coast ... also
I had emailed my friends and told them I probably would turn up on their
property to camp six days earlier ... it was time I made an appearance down
there. Imprimatura: Venetian Red. The Pigments used were: Rublev Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Italian Burnt
Sienna, with Winsor & Newton Cobalt, Cerulean & French Ultramarine
Blues, Venetian Red, and Cremnitz & Titanium Whites. The brighter greens are again a mixture of
Yellow Ochre and Cerulean Blue ... no Cadmiums used in the greens except for the
touches of yellow flowers. For more, visit
