Studio Time

🙂 I’m back to shooting in the dark again.

I covered this with a “glaze” of Sennelier’s Ultramarine Rose, followed by a bit of shading with their Ultramarine Violet yesterday. I’ll call it a glaze though the paint is so transparent that it doesn’t actually require much medium.

This is actually this dark. The actual painting is a bit more violet though. Once the paint had dried a bit, I went over it with a rag and sort of daubed at it to get rid of any brush strokes and add a mottled texture. It did give some consistency to things and the surface is a little easier to paint small details onto now that it’s covered with oil. It is very glossy. I’m surprised I was able to get this clean a photograph of it.
