This student had not painted in oils, he put his head down and created a portrait with real depth - we can feel this man's soul
this student had never painted before she was so hard working and created this absolutly stunning painting
using a rag to take paint off and lighten the light areas before painting creating an incandescent depth layer after layer week after week
starting to wipe over painting with a glaze
moving the eye
wiping down with a tinted glaze
adding the lights
small amount of liquid dryers (purple stems yellowing)
making paint with powder and grinding on marble with a glass muller
