I just finished tickling this small Green Apple painting. I think I'm becoming more comfortable with this working method of using glazes on top of my wet-in-wet paintings. I finally found a surface I'm happy with too, which is gessoed wood panel. I like this texture I'm getting by putting the gesso on with a roller (three layers, lightly sanding between each). it gives it a little tooth and textural look and makes blending smoother. Nice.

Another lovely painting, Todd! This apple looks very juicy and crisp and I like the chiaroscuro lighting. Keep up the great work, friend. And enjoy that baby: "children are a gift of the Lord".
ReplyDeleteThat apple is so impressive I want to rescue it before it rolls off the table and gets bruised!
ReplyDeleteThanks a million. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteBe good,
