Diane Mannion, Salt Jar, 6x4 oil
SOLD
For fun and practice, painted this jar in 291 strokes. The drawing was painted using ultramarine blue thinned with linseed oil....and was NOT included in the strokes count. Only used a dab of linseed oil as a medium, and paint directly from the tubes. No mineral spirits used at all. Tried to lay the paint on thick with a minimal amount of blending.
This is excellent practice for brushwork. Used number 4 and 2 bristles only. And aimed for less than three stokes for each loaded brush. Wiping (pulled paint off with paper towel and linseed oil) and changing color often.
My palette colors were a warm and cool of the primaries:
Cad yellow pale, cad yellow dark, Winsor red, permanent alizarin, ultramarine blue, and
cobalt blue hue. And titanium white. All Gamblin or Winsor & Newton artists quality paints. (Just a reminder to my students... stay away from student grade paints!) I also like many other brands, artist quality of course.
