Flower Vase Acrylic Painting.

 

Acylic paint on 9x12in Paper.  4 or so coats of gesso.  I used orange blue and opera rose colors.

Beer and a Shot. Acrylic paint on paper.

I painted this on paper that had 3 coats of gesso.  I find it to be the best way to paint without involving a canvas.  I will scan this on my computer and offer it as a print.  Cheers everyone.  Email me if you are interested in a print.  Thanks.
 

Foamy Beer Mug Acrylic Painting.

 I simple painting using orange and blue compliment colors.  I also wanted to paint a beer mug.  Cheers!

Blue Coffee Acrylic Painting

 My Thanksgiving Day painting.  I used aquamarine and titanium white on a sheet of sketchbook paper.  I put 4 coats of gesso on before painting.  The gesso helps when painting on paper. I wanted to do a value study using blue.  The sugar cubes were a last minute addition.  

Self Portrait. Oil on Canson Paper

 

My finished self portrait. I used oil paint on Canson paper.  The paper is designed for oil paints.  I think this is my best portrait so far.  I will continue practicing.  I am not vain in painting myself, I just don't have a model that will pose for me.  LOL.  The following images are my underpaintings. 

I used burnt umber as a base.

Introduced paynes grey for the darker areas.

I started putting in the background to judge my values better.

 

Path Through a Field Oil Painting

 My latest oil painting 9in x 12in Canvas.  Finished this one early this morning.  I used rather thick paint on the sky. Not the usual style I use.  I thought I would try something different.  This is one of the paintings I will sell at the 2024 Arlington Heights Art show in August. I recently became a member of the Arlington Heights Art Guild. I am getting my next surface ready for painting.  I am going to use Canson oil paper.  I think I will try another self portrait.

Sunset Ocean Oil Painting

 

It took me 3 days to paint this.  Many days in between for drying.  I let the paint dry before adding another layer.  Most of my paintings are Ala Prima. This is the first painting that took me several days to finish.  I will probably use this method for a while.  Currently I am looking for another subject for my next project.  Not sure if I will do oils or Acrylics.  My sketchbook is calling me.  Thanks for stopping by.
