Oil Gallery
My love affair with oil painting began in the late 1970’s with Priscilla Hauser’s TV program. I love the way they move,their vibrant, clear colors, the smoothness, clarity, even the smell of oils!
One of the difficulties of teaching and designing is constantly painting at a level will appeal to the ‘masses’. One tends to neglect their own growth as an artist. To combat this I take classes, studying and pursuing oils on canvas. I do not take commission work and I do not paint for profit or sale. It’s for my pleasure and growth. It’s become a sanctuary for me.
I use 5 or more photographs to compile one painting. After the design is planned, the under painting is done in one color plus white. This establishes lights and darks. It also shapes and forms the painting. This is where problems are resolved. Several of the following paintings have the original photograph linked for your viewing.
Under painting is the foundation of the process. When it’s complete, glazes are applied in warm and cool colors then topped with opaque colors. The color of the under paint unifies and influences all colors that come after it.
Several of these works have a link to the under painting so you can experience it more fully. Sorry, there are no instructions for the following items, no packets or books, nothing for sale. Having these on my web site is my way of sharing my passion for the art without limitation, I hope to stir the artist in you in some way.
