In Progress, as well


In Progress

Originally uploaded by Elaine with Grey Cats.

I also did these tonal works a week or so ago. I think the paper i used was sold as palette paper, which i must have purchased before the birthday when Christine gave me the glass palette. Stretching the paper with masking tape at the corners helped keep the warping down and the dry pieces are satisfactory, especially as studies.

I want to keep layering color, but Christine became quite fond of the green piece as it is. I do like the tree, which has an underpainting of Golden’s light modeling paste, giving the bark texture a very tactile presence.

I really do love painting *textures* as much as saturated colors. The red has high gloss + tar gels that are slick, contrasting with the stained gesso.
