WIP - Flemish Technique - Magnolia

Oils 8x8", "oil out" your canvas "where you plan on painting that day" by rubbing a light coat of linseed oil on the canvas and wait 2 minutes before you wipe it off with cheese cloth. Next you paint over the entire canvas with colors reserving your lightest white highlights and deepest shadows for glazes. Let completely dry.

Comment by Roena King on March 4, 2011 at 1:50: NONI, sorry for the confusion. I did do the umber layer. It was the first pic I showed. I just combined the drawing, the tracing with Indian ink and the umber layer into the 1st photo. It was a white flower so I did not put umber there so that I could retain the white. If you lose the lightest colors it is hard to get them back.

Comment by Noni Bryant on March 3, 2011 at 22:50: Beautiful colours, Ro. So you didn't do the umber layer before the dead layer, like in the Indian Pots painting?

NOW I'm confused!!!
