6 x 6"oil painting on panel
Well, I did finish a painting today. With all of the running around I had to do, I wasn't sure I would. I picked up this lovely orange bell pepper while at the grocery store, not with the intent of using it for cooking, but with the idea that it would easily work with the small square format and I might have time to finish a painting today after all. So, a very simple piece. Just a sketch really, and fun to do.
I spent part of the weekend preparing several panels to work from. The panels I've been buying are primed and ready to go, but I think they are too absorbent. So I added another coat of acrylic gesso. I also tinted the gesso before applying it with dry pigment, of which I had several jars. I now have a number of surfaces ready to go. This one was tinted with a gray blue.
