| My Red Boots 8x8 Oil on canvas Well, this one certainly took me longer than an hour! But, I had fun. I started with drawing a thumbnail sketch and indicating the values. I then colored my canvas with raw sienna wash and OMS (odorless mineral spirits), then loosely sketched the image with raw sienna and a short bristle brush. I began painting with the darkest values first. I struggled with the black glove which had all the light on it. I probably painted it too white. After about 2.5-3 hours from start to finish, I had to call it a day even though it could use a lot more tweeking. I must always remember the goal - complete a painting a day, don't focus on perfection. I think I accomplished my goal for the day! |
