Still Life in the Flemish Method

by Lori Ippolito
(Nutley, NJ, USA)

Still Life Bowl

Hi! Thanks for the opportunity to share my first oil painting! I watched Delmus' videos and found them inspirational & instructional!! Enough so to give me the courage to give oils a try!
I found a lovely photo on a site - paintmyphoto - submitted by a member, Biba. As soon as I saw the photo I knew it had to be painted! I found the step by step approach to layers in the Flemish technique very useful - the most difficult layer for me was the color layer - perhaps due my lack of training in color theory? I found that placing the source photo under my glass palette was really helpful - I did a lot of mixing & tossing before I came up with a pretty decent match!! I now have "oil in my veins" and can't wait to try another!!
Thanks for looking!!

Hi Lori,

The glass bowl is excellent. You have put in lot of effort that the lace gives the appearance of a plastic tray. Keep it up.
