Media: oil on gessoboard
Size: 6x6 in
6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is another small iris painting.
As always, I paint with walnut oil mainly because I have read that it is
more flexible on drying. The truth is, I have never had a problem with
paint falling off or cracking but I guess the next couple of hundred
years will tell that story. I work usually alla prima so these
issues are reduced anyway. I also can paint with a minimum of toxic
chemicals if I wish to. If I painted on linen like I do for larger
paintings, the texture would be too distracting.
