Week 1 Day 5

9/2/2020

Hiya guys!.. I'd say this one is one of my favs of the 1st weeks challenge that I did.. Using hog bristle brushes, rather than the synthetics used for the others, every brushstroke was deeply pronounced and I tried to take advantage of this by ensuring every stoke would speak to the underlying forms and be texturally appealing with sure gesture.

The bleaching white light of the ref image, flattened the models face somewhat. Thus the challenge was to portray this washed out lighting while still bringing dimensionality to the portrait..

Ahh.. I forgot to varnish the portrait I did on day 3 so I decided to post this one first!..
This piece is about twice the size of the previous works and was painted using a zorn palette.. If you are not familiar with this uber limited palette, it's one that consists of just 4 'hues' - Titanium White, Ivory Black, Yellow Ocher and a red. I used Cadmium Red.

This was just the perfect image for the muted tones of a zorn palette, and the subjects smoldering 'f*' all stare to the viewer.

Original in Personal Collection

Hidy ho guys.
So if you've been following updates on my 'On the Easel..' page, you'll already be familiar with this little piece, done as a preliminary study for the larger oil I'm currently working on.

Painted on texturally primed canvas, this piece gave me the opportunity to work out design elements I was thinking of adding (the contour crosshatched lines on the figure etc.) as well as solidify the palette I would be using for the larger painting.

Available reproduced as Archival Giclee Fine Art Prints for any artlovers who may be interested, in my Etsy store at

Had to say adieu to this one today. I was surprisingly sadder than usual to see a piece go. I was quite pleased at successfully achieving just the exact glowing emerald hue I had envisioned for the snake and this was also my first attempt at trying a new crosshatching technique with the oil paint too.. Despite this I could not feel more blessed with whom she is on her way to right now!.. Thank you so much for making a home for two!.. :)
