Hey friends,
So, I wasn't sure if it was going to happen, but I finished a painting. It's tentatively titled, "Wait."
The texture here is achieved with several layers of oil paint, which after dry, I rub over with charcoal, and then push around with mineral spirits. While that's still kind of wet I put a dry wax medium over it with a palette knife. It makes this really beautiful transparency, and you can sort of control how translucent you want it to be. Then I flicked a little bit of white paint on top of that, and that's pretty much it. Is this sort of thing interesting? I am really tired.
Okay, so actually I had finished another painting before that one, but I only kind of count it since it's quite small (around 16"x20"). This one is titled, "Meditation at the End of the World."
I have one more day to paint in oil and then I need to start letting things dry if I'm going to be able to ship them before I leave here. I'm reaaally hoping to finish this other painting, but we'll see.
until next time
Em
