I’m using a lot of light mixes for layering over some older works. Favouring ochres, yellows, pale blues laid over the deeper and bolder tones underneath. This is creating some depth and I’m adding further texture with light lines and scrapes using solvent followed by a palette knife
end of my painting day
daylight fading
fire is out
3rd layer complete and the strong red finally hidden ( for now)
starting to cover the first layer of red with a pale creamy green
The strong red is proving to be very tenacious, adding marble dust and yellow powder pigment in with the green
first two layers nearly ready, coffee break before third layer!
Gamblin wax from T Lawrence including a free sample of ‘Torrit Grey’ oil paint that has been made from pigment collected from the air vents all in celebration of ‘Earth Day’. Amazing!
I’m enjoying building the layers, then scratching and scraping through and back. Off out again now, more later
