| Blue Sax, 8X10 Acrylic |
It was tempting to use watercolor, but I kept thinking of oils. So, after some graphite sketching and then studies in Pentel pens in 5 shades of gray, I finally got up the nerve to put brush to canvas. Of course I waited so long that oils would never dry, so it ended up in acrylics.
I've submitted it for jurying, so wish me luck that it will be accepted.
Une très jolie peinture... Je suis certaine qu'elle obtiendra l'accord de votre jury.

Merci beaucoup! The photographer was very complimentary about the painting, I'm glad it did not embarrass him.
ReplyDeleteHello Dianne:) Wow this is beautiful! Very nice and beautiful different tones. Especially the sweater is a nice piece of art! Great job Dianne! Love it:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Renate, that was nice of you. I thought a long time about how to keep the background separate from the man, so I did the background with a palette knife to keep the texture distinct. It's amazing how much thinking had to go into this one for me before I even started.
