Project 2 for Workshop 25

oil on a 9"x12" board
Painting on a board is a quite different experience. Richard was right, every single brushstroke is visible. Sometimes the Gesso on the board shows through. I can see that glazing over this would be a plus.

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 25, 2013 at 16:50: Thanks Dor and Jan. your tips are much appreciated. Because this one never dried, I did the other one that I finally glazed, in acrylic. It has been a long time since using acrylics. I forgot how much I enjoyed painting with them. An artist friend always blocks in her first layers with acrylic and then builds with oils. Maybe I should start doing that.

Comment by Jan Flynn on September 24, 2013 at 16:44: Helen Van Wyk used to do her gray scale with an acrylic (thinly painted) and then she would glaze over some parts and paint over others with opaque paint. They looked gorgeous. :D

Comment by Dorian Aronson on September 24, 2013 at 3:56: Be happy about that! I ruined mine because I was putting glaze everywhere and made a mess! Now you know only a tiny bit of glaze and only in a few places just where you would really like to highlight something. IMHO : ))

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 24, 2013 at 3:15: Thank you, Dor. It still isn't dry. Oh, we'll. :-)

Comment by Dorian Aronson on September 21, 2013 at 20:51: Beautiful Nancy! : ))

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 13, 2013 at 7:05: Jan, thank you. I don't think I will have time to glaze it before I leave town because it is still not dry; so I did another one in acrylic. I will finish this one when I return. We shall see.

Comment by Jan Flynn on September 12, 2013 at 16:15: I think that might glaze up beautifully. Foreground is interesting ...like that clump of forest on the left,

Comment by Lori Ippolito on September 12, 2013 at 4:47: This is really wonderful Nancy..I can see the sun peeking through even in the grisaille. I can't wait to see this glazed!

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 11, 2013 at 14:50: Thank you, Sylvana, Linda and Stu. If it ever dries, it will be fun seeing what glazing will do.

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on September 10, 2013 at 15:15: Very nice, Nancy. Your warm undertone on the canvas will help wam this up when you glaze. Stu
