Texture painting 3

Another texture session for you to see.  As my textured oil compositions get closer to complete i can add larger forms of oil color without worrying about how I might disturb the rest of the composition.  

Those are 5 150ml tubes of oil color.

Those are 5 empty 150ml tubes of oil color.

That is 750ml of oil color.

I know, pretty cool huh...

...see you next time and thanks for reading my blog.

Texture painting 2

The textured oil paintings I work on have to dry before I can add a new layer.  Normally it takes about a month for the oil to be solid enough for me to add more.  This session of painting was probably the 5th session of adding oil color.

...part three of this post coming soon.

I have been working on this idea for a very long time now.  When I eventually complete this painting I will post the ideas behind the composition.

Texture painting 1

I had started this on a separate web-server and decided that blogspot.com was the best choice for me.  So this post is backdated, and simply copied from my old blog.

I thought that I would just start off with some pics of a painting I worked on a while back.  This is the process of oil painting a texture composition.  This was the first of many sessions of adding oil paint to the canvas.  When I work with the texture of oil paint I start out with a lot of paint, and sculpt it like clay into forms.  After i have established the main composition with the larger forms of oil color I like to just keep adding oil color with a palette knife.

These paintings, if i could truly afford them would be what I focus on most of my time.

These pics are of me sculpting the first large forms on the canvas.

Thanks for reading my blog...

...more to come soon.
