Tulips 2

Two days on and some progress made in the overpainting in oils.

The work is more grounded and the vase completed.

Tulips Day 1 underpainting

Well as I have discovered how to create a blog finally lol, I thought I should post something here.

While not the finished piece, this is an underpainting in acrylic of a vase of tulips the plan is to paint over this in oils.  I am quite comfortable, if not skilled, with using acrylic paints but oils are a new venture for me so we shall see whether I improve or totally wreck the piece.  I do like the idea of recording my progress as I can see at what point I like the image and whether or not I am tempted to go too far and overpaint.

I am painting on a 16 x 20 inch stretched cotton canvas.
