    Life Study Face
    Face done in life study session

    This life study was complete at BCAC (Broome County Arts Counsil) initially as Alla Prima, but after some thought the work was forwarded on towards completion in the studio. I really enjoy the bold colors. I was also very pleased that no pencil preparatory work was done to establish the beginning drawing for watercolor painting. Instead, the work was initiated and completed using watercolors with brush exclusively. The colors used are, Winsor and Newton Professional Watercolors, Scarlet Lake, Alizarin Crimson, Lemon Yellow, Raw Sienna, Cobalt Blue, Viridian, Hooker’s Green, Burnt Umber and Antwerp Blue. Please enjoy this work.

    Life Study BCAC
    Melancholy Gold 12″X16″ on Arches Huile oil paper using Winsor & Newton Artist oil

    This image is originally from a life study worked on at the BCAC, Broome County Arts Council, in Binghamton, NY. The original drawing was completed on 12″X16″ Arches Huile 140 lb. oil paper, which was toned using Winsor & Newton Artist Oil Raw Umber. The medium for the drawing was Coates vine charcoal. Once the drawing was prepared during the life study on site, the piece was completed in oil paints in the studio. Winsor & Newton Artist grade oil paints were used to create the above image. The colors I used were Permanent Rose, Cadmium Scarlet, Indian Red, Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Viridian, Winsor Blue (Red Spectrum), Prussian Blue, Ivory Black and Titanium White.
