Cabbage Rose Bloom (19-27)

Okay, it's been a while since I've posted and it's really overdue.

Here is how I've spent the last few days.

I created the colours on the palette ahead of time so I used the real colours for the rough in drawing instead of a neutral colour. No particular reason except that the colours were already available to me.

I fought the background a bit trying to figure out how much attention I should give it.

Shadowing for me is one of the hardest elements, if you grey out the colour too much it just looks dirty. Implementing too much colour in the shadow takes away a more realistic colouring. I am still learning, getting there.

Cabbage Rose Bloom

(19-27)

oil on stretched canvas

10" by 8"

I've used one of my new canvases for this painting. The stretcher is so much stronger than the previous ones. I have had a painting bow on me and I have to restretch it now and I'm less than pleased. So from now on, the canvases are going to be super strong.

I managed to take photos the other day before I sent off a 6" by 6" panel. I thought that a few might be interested in how I try to make sure that you're artwork gets to you unscathed. Before I do any wrapping, I make sure that all the information is on the back of your purchased art piece. Title, medium, size, Artists name (because my signature is impossible to decipher). Also I print an inventory number which will look something like 026.2018. 1. I wrap all boards/canvases in wax paper. There will be no smudging on my watch. 2. Bubblewrap comes next as I do not want corners dinged. 3. Tissue paper is the third wrap. This is a gift for you or someone you love and I want you to feel like it's a present when you open it. 4. Inside your envelope you will find: A Thank You card - because it's important for you to know that you are appreciated. Two business cards for you to share with others Your invoice and receipt One
