Still Life Onions Demonstration, Oil Painting lessons
A Still Life Onions demonstration. Here's the start of a new piece in Oil Painting Tips from my easel. A customer contacted the gallery for an order to match another piece they had purchased. I wanted to give here a walk through the entire process. Their instructions were a dark background, grey shelf with onions! We can do that!
Below is the reference set-up. 
Here's the pencil drawing of the reference still-life.

Then comes the ink drawing which will preserve the base image.

Then the imprimatura coat roughly brushed in.

Then a blending with the large mop brush to eliminate the brush strokes of the initial imprimatura coat application.

Keep us bookmarked so you can return to see the progress of this work. Todays January 6th, 2009 when I posted this progress "From my Easel".
