Trials of oils
17-18 August 2017
I am delaying the challenge of 10 aquarelles as I decided to check how things would be with oils.
The following are a trial of sketches using oils alla prima on aquarelle paper and a ballerina snapshot from the below videoclip on stretched canvas.
As usual with most of my oils, I like using monochrome or a series of tone on tone which gives my oil paintings a naive painting look that I personally like. I hope some of you like them too.


The second Waltz – Dmitri Shostakovic

Very sensuous!
Thank you 😉
I meant to put sinuous between first and shape
That very first shape is superb
Thank you Derrick. I was slapdash with the painting but the important part for me was the shapes, precisely 🙂
