Still on the Street

This is session 3 of painting. Last night, I worked at the forms a little more with titanium white and hookers green acrylic. Today, I started with oils: Sennelier’s warm grey, sap green, sepia, burnt sienna and some stuff that was left over on the palette. I’m a little frustrated with it yet. I’ve lost some of the chaotic feel that I liked about the drawing and it’s a lot more cheery than I was going for. 🙂 I suppose that needs to be fixed in the next version.

The medium here is straight linseed oil with some cobalt drier. I left the acrylic stuff unsanded. I like the texture. Linseed oil flows a lot easier than mediums like liquin and so on that sort of surface. 🙂 It does not make for easily photographed oil paintings.
