First a quickie walk through of my latest still life...
...sketching from observation...
with oils I like to work with the figures first
...putting down the underlayer with a lot of liquin...
...grisaille in the objects...
Now a quicker walk through with my palette. This shows how I work with tone...
First it is light to dark with adjustment for dabs of paint in-between...
...mixing them and comparing with the nearby value scale to make each step in equal to the others...
...sometimes mixing in between values if I feel the composition needs it (and drapery ALWAYS needs it!)....
...adding more paint as I use up the first batch (and comparing with the existing splotches to make sure I make an accurate match)...
Finally time for clean-up.
