Studio wall filling up for an ExhibitionPutting the finishing touches on “Parisian” with the set-up in the background
My Process — Painting “Gazpacho”
1) Composing the set-up for “Gazpacho”2) Oil sketch on toned canvas. Marking the inches aids drawing3) The grisaille (umber underpainting) helps establish the darks and lights and allows me to correct mistakes before tackling color4) Painting & glazing the objects in color brings them to life. Final step will be painting background & table covering
5) The finished painting, “Gazpacho.” It still needed something so I topped it with a scallion!
