Backlight in Oil
101 Oil Studies, No. 44
Objective: Portrait created largely during life drawing sessions
Painted in 5 sessions: 21 Oct to 4 Nov 2024, but primarily during life drawing sessions at the New Mexico Art League studio, 27 Nov and 3 Dec.
Pigments (all Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour): Burnt sienna, indigo, French ultramarine, yellow ochre, permalba white. Mediums: Oleogel.
Centurion OP DLX oil primed linen, 30.5 x 40.6 cm (12 x 16 inches)
Process: After a burnt sienna wash, I used charcoal transfer to bring the basic outline over from "Backlight" (Oct 20 drawing from my Figure Studies album). Figure was mostly completed in the two life drawing sessions; background and touchup in home sessions.
