New painting on the easel!

Currently this painting is finished and I have moved forward to a new painting. Please follow the link to follow the creating of Spyridon.

Finally finished!!

I consider this one to be completed and have signed it. The first layers of varnish are already on it! Will try to find an appropriate frame after drying.

Creating the Exit is just about leaving all what has been brooken behind and start running towards a new colorfull world. If there is no exit from your old world: Just create one yourself!

Oil panting on MDF panel 60 * 90 cm. Coated with acryl mix Titan White / Black. Underpainting in Talens Rembrandt Oil Titan White and Raw Umber. Colors glaced with Rembrandt Oil paints and Old Holland's Scheveningen Medium.

On the edge of completeness

When is a painting finished?? Sometimes....

Did a lot of work last weeks: worked out the hair in much more detail and am quite happy. Painting hair is not still on th level where I would like to be, but persistent I keep on trying to step up each painting.



Also tried to make the painting more exciting by adding deep an shallow shades... Will wait with signing for another 4 weeks or so (keeping it out of sight).

Statistics: Oilpaint on panel

Getting closer to finish...

Today I finished the first layer on the hair, worked out well. Think I need 1 more layer to complete...

After that I'll start working out the highlights and deep shades in order to finish, will take a few more sessions I suppose.

Wish I was a rich man and not so handsome....
