Description

this is the first painting i've done in quit awhile. it felt good to get back to oils. i've been working on drawings in marker and pastels.

this painting has the kringels i love so much.

i started by taking cold press linseed oil and dipping a large brush in it and painting it onto the canvas. then i did the same with mineral spirits--this is all before i started to paint i wanted different areas of paint to have a different texture. then i used blues and purples a with another big brush. i kept dragging it around with big bold strokes. i put blobs of various paints on the canvas, not the pallet and dragged a large dry brush over the blobs of paint. i added more and more blues and purples and white and a little bit of orange in it. i painted kingles in the in the thick multicolor paint which were not a separate color but were textures the brush made in the thick paint. then i took a palette knife and started carving out swirly paterns in the paint. i went over and over the shapes. because of the linseed oil the painting is very shiny.
