Oil painting. Lesson 3


Shepherdess. The Seven-layer technique of oil painting. 

 

I talk about the painting - the copy of Little Bo Peep by Elsley.

For this work I used canvas 35x50cm. I go to that way, which Artpapa showed.
It's multilayer old-flemish technique.

The 7 layers are as follows:
- Imprimatura
- Umber underlayer 1
- Umber underlayer 2
- Dead layer

- Dead layer2 for face
- Color layer 1
- Color layer 2

And it's the first layer above a contour on canvas, imprimature.

2. Umber underlayer 1.

In first color layer I painted shadows and spots under the lilac and in this layer I paint the blossom and petals, thick touch without smearing.

I have varnished the finished picture and have inserted into a double frame.

I hope it was interesting for you!
