I used a photo provided by a fellow artist the idea was to create a portrait that tells a story of a young woman deep in thought
It took three months to paint I used a 36x48 Cotton duck canvas and Oil Flemish technique this is my second Flemish work.
Editors Note:
Paul! Thanks so much for contributing! Wow, You certainly have picked up the technique well and it shows in this masterpiece! The subtle colors of the Tutu and her intense gaze all capture such a wonderful story. Let us know if it sales! I've been following along in the forums and it has been a wonderful experience to see this painting born from start to finish!
Best wishes my friend!

This is my first figurative based on Italian Renaissances Technique done more or less like the Flemish technique but with no Dead layer instead this one uses a vary detailed and completely value accurate drawing an umber under painting done vary realistically with a vardagri layer "Green" its an inspired copy of an original done by Alexander Luis Reani 1868 I've been intensely interested in religious art of the Italian masters and though Raeni lived a good 300 years later when I saw it I knew he was of the same mind set his painting differs in that its much more realistically painted and there's greater tension. maybe some day I'll be able to get that good but for the level I'm at I feel pretty good about it plus his is in vary bad shape having cracked and discolored so it was hard to interpret literally.
It's on a stretched gallery canvas
36" x 48".
The mass creating greater drama in my mind
its oil with many coats of clear glazing to increase the intensity and depth this is also my first one done on an oil Gesso ground.
A mixture of Linseed, Titanium white and talcum powder as the inert ingredient. I found it a lot easier to paint on much better to sand the surface was prepared to an egg shell finish in 4 coats sanding in between. I prepped the canvas with hide glue.

A fast a furious painting to look at the quality's of a looser style. the original was done by Tim Gagnon but its so far away other then the perspectives and object placements its hardly the same painting. but still i need to credit him i do have permission to paint it.
i wanted to explorer a setting sun with strong cast light and waves of wind hitting the grasses. i used an darker green blue under painting to establish the value ranges then proceeded to move on to color and detail.
oil on canvas 36x48 a gift for my niece's wedding
