Having found a source of 4 great earth pigments in one location in my locality I added a few from Jackson's Art, got grinding and mixing with linseed oil and siccative, and this is the result: An earthy picture of stunning Woody Bay on the Exmoor coast in muted colours. It's been very exciting to, in a very basic manner, emulate the old masters who had to make their own paints. 25 x 20 x 4cm (oil on deep edge canvas).
I'm very pleased with the result, an honest, grainy (using coarse grinds...) depiction of a piece of very colourful coastline. What do you think?
Materials used:
Handmade oils using local earth pigments supplemented with Cornelisson & Son colours on a deep-edge 25 x 20 cm canvas. No frame needed, ready to hang.
