Rose Picture with an oil painting art lesson!

This wonderful example of a Hybrid Tea Rose Picture with an art lesson to show how it was created. Using the classical flemish layered technique, below you'll find the umber under layer and the dead layers. On the other page, you'll find the color layers.

Here I've already completed the canvas prep, pencil and ink drawing, imprimatura and first umber underlayer painting.

I have also completed a 2nd umber layer to darken the bottom left of the canvas.

In this part of the painting, I have opted to take a shortcut. I've utilized the dead layer only on the blossoms and leaves due to the background going to be muted colors and out of focus.



Here are the two left hand blossoms. Notice no texture or great details, only half tones and shadows.



Another blossom up close to show the amount of detail that is usually enough to be ready for the color layers.
