Teapot and Pastry

Raven Bottle

Traditional Painting
(Indirect Method)
  • Begin with Grisaille (monochromatic
    underpainting ) creating the form
  • Apply glazes of oil colors to create the color
This Indirect painting is a work in progress.......

Alla Prima
(Direct Method)
  • With a clear pattern of light & dark in mind
  • Begin with a simple draw in of the shapes,
     noting shadows and reflected lights
This alla prima or (direct method) painting is completed.
