. . . yep – another peony!!!! This one is once again based on the Steve Blackburn technique.
This one takes you pretty much step by step through the process.
To the left are my first pours with the miskit on.
Then I removed the miskit and did another couple thin pours.
The painting is a full sheet of Arches 300#, propped on the easel, so there is a bit of a curl in some of the photos. After the pours were complete, I began working into the darks, slowly going around the painting, glazing up in several layers.
Developing the darks.
Developing the darks a bit more.
At the end I was having trouble with the top right corner and one of my students told me “my teacher says to turn it”!!! So I did and I like it much better now! (And I was a bit embarrassed!) We really laughed at that one!
I can't decide if it's too "purple-y" - but it's a done deal - framed and sitting on the easel!
