oil on canvas panel
detail:
Ok, photographing wet paint on canvas is harsh as you can see. I am happy to say this painting looks much better in person. I am enjoying painting on the larger panels but I will have to order more soon. This one is a bit different from my usual. As you can see I let a lot of the underlying sketch which is quite dark show in the painting. This gives a bold contrast, but please note, I never use the color black straight from a tube, way too harsh and nothing in nature is that dark. Please do not buy a tube of black paint, mix your own, it will be richer and not too dark. I mix cadmium orange with French ultramarine blue at varying strengths for brown all the way to my darkest
