Journey of a portrait and figurative artist

Still Life Glazing

Grisaille

 
I am trying out my first glazing oil painting as a final project for my oil painting class with Andrea Kemp. I've chosen a photo taken back in 2009 in an orchid show in San Franciso. This is the first pass at the Grisaille. It might be a bit thick but we'll see. Finally I'm painting something that my mom always asked for. By the way Andrea Kemp is a great teacher and I highly recommend taking her class at the Denver Art Students League.

Orchid

 
My oil painting class with Andrea Kemp is over and here is how my galzing project turned out. It turned out that my underpainting of the blossoms were too dark so I had to put some pink mixed with white to get it lighter. Also tried to glaze the background but it was too hard to get it smooth with transparent dark so I went over it with thicker paint. Overall I am pleased with how it turned out for my first glazed painting. The process was pretty simple but tedious. A bit like paint by number as I have to paint those layers and layers and keep it inside the line.
