Glowing tree


Glowing Tree
Back to the oil painting.  This is a 12 x 16 inch on canvas based on a photograph.  I did a drawing in pencil followed by sealing it with an acrylic wash putting in the basic values.  



After that layer was a dead layer in oils.  


 When it was dry I went back in with oils.  The initial plan was to use glazes but I ran out of time so ended up using more opaque paint followed by one glazing layer and then a final touch up.  

 I ended up working on 3 paintings at the same time cycling through the process with each in turn. More on them next week.
