Oil Painting Stilllife- Retouch Varnish "Incidentals"
















This work on sale, see my "Will Paint for Gas" blog link!

5"x 7" oil

This is a throw back to my incidentals
or mundane objects as stilllifes.

I set up a split-comp palette to begin,
which was yellow-orange as my dominant
and then violet and blue as my splits.
I began with controlled brushwork as a
more painterly approach, and at 78 brush
strokes decided it was time to then slip
into a gut hunch mode to bring to a
finish...

thanks Rene..
I think this one turned out pretty good. Haven't done a simple object stilllife of late, and have seen some pretty good ones from the daily painters. Had to have a go at it once more...
