Original oil studies now available

Now available in my shop are recent small original oil studies on Arches oil paper. They are meant to be quick sketches, trying to capture accurate color and values of the subjects without too much time spent on refining details.

The oil paper is similar to heavy watercolor paper so they can be framed the same way, for example, with or without mat, mounted on a board, etc. It is recommended not to put them behind glass so that the oil paint will have access to air in order to cure properly.

I'll be adding more studies soon and hopefully regularly, so if you would like to be informed of their availability, please subscribe to my mailing list!

More color and value sketches on Arches oil paper

Value and color studies (left) for a 12" x 9" oil painting on panel in progress (right)

After completing a precise pencil drawing at full scale on Dura-Lar for this 9" x 12" painting, it was scanned in. I did a bit of work on it in Photoshop to adjust the levels and contrast, cut the Arches oil paper to 8.5" x 11", selected the option to scale it down to the size of the paper and printed it.

Painting these allaprima grayscale value and color sketches really helped me work out how I should proceed with the larger indirect painting on panel.

For the larger painting on panel, I rubbed a very light coat of unthinned raw umber oil paint on the back of the Dura-Lar drawing and transferred it to the panel.
