This oil over brown under-painting was done on a gessoed 6" x 6"
masonite panel. The main part of the features that you can see
are the underpainting. There are many glazes as well: transparent
Gold Ochre, Indian Yellow, Transparent Red Earth, Transparent
Yellow, and then also a great deal of opaque paint.

This is a fun way to paint. Solve the drawing part first, and then
you are relatively free to fool around with color.

Thanks for visiting today.

P.S. You may have noticed that I've added Google Ad Sense to my
blog. I hope you don't think that mercenary of me.....times are
hard......for everyone.

Sharon in a Reclining Pose in Class

Oil on Gessoed Rag Board, 6" x 8 1/4" $150.00

SOLD

I painted this sketch in homage to my favorite

model, Sharon, because she posed for my class

today. She never fails to inspire me, even though

she has been modeling for me, and for my classes,

for almost fifteen years. She just knows what to

do, modelling-wise, and her wistful and witty

Irish personality (her father was from the Old

Country) permeates the room when she is in

it. Her hair is red now, but for the sake of the

color harmonies of this piece, it isn't.

I enjoyed myself doing this, even though

I had to teach today and didn't have much

time left to do it. It isn't perfect, but I'm

pretty happy with it.
