Oil on panel


Mostly this is using the Layering technique, 
so I left a layer to dry before moving onto the next layer.

No maintenance required!

Well, that appears to have been easier than I thought.   I was planning on sorting out the Settings on the blog, but took a look and the Sidebar has appeared all by itself.

Can I ask everyone, take a look on your devices and tell me if you see the Righthand Sidebar?

Much appreciated.....ann x

THANKS for responses and letting me know what you see viewing this on your devices.
I am still amazed the blog sorted itself out,
OR AM I MORE POWERFUL THAN I THOUGHT I WAS 🤣

Maintenance

Looks like I'm going to have to do some Blog maintenance.  Although I updated the blog and changed the colour settings, I have realised that the Righthand sidebar doesn't load properly.

Will look at this next week when I have an opportunity after some paintings that need completing.

This Oil painting is still on the easel
Based on a room at Arlington Court, 
I've used artistic license a bit, that's the fun part of painting.

Oil on canvas

Another season of painting plein air at Arlington Court will soon be here.

The best way to get into the mindset for it, is to do a painting in the studio.

Chuffed t’ bits

Managed to get this lovely little lamp for a song the other day.

Now I can’t wait to do an Oil painting of it.

C’mon who am I kidding, I’ll end up doing lots of paintings using this as my inspiration,
including using it as subject matter for some Art tutorials with a local group.



I’ve already done a rough sketches to start getting my hand-eye co-ordination working
