| MEDIUMS |
 |
I
am using turpenoid for thinning oils, be careful turpentine
is different than turpenoid. I am using turpentine only for
cleaning my brushes. Thickened Linseed Oil, Venice Turpentine,
Damar Varnish. I am mixing them in a small metal bottle. You
may see this mediums at the picture at left.
Sometimes I am adding only Liquin, if I want to work with
more transparency with softness.
Or for very fast drying oils I am very rarely adding Cobalt
Drier onto my palette. It's very difficult because need to
be really quick for working with cobalt drier. Or alkyd paint
medium maybe added instead of cobalt drier. |

| BRUSHES |
 |
I
am not using any special brand on brushes. I am going to Pearl
Art, Dick Blick store and I am selecting with my eye and feeling
with my fingers. Usually I am choosing rounded brushes. Isabey,
Dick Blick, Robert Simmons, Winsor&Newton brands are great.
Sable and soft hair brushes are more stable and perfect for
glazing. Even sometimes watercolour brushes maybe good.
But I am everytime trying different brands. I am feeling their
quality when I was buying. Some cheaper brushes like loew
is also good especialy for hard light effectss; but it's disfiguring
after first oil painting. |
|
| |
| PAPER |
| First
of all it must be 100% acidfree. I don't want to see any crashes
on my paintings in a few years. I am using this brands: Fredrix
Ultra Smooth, portrait Grade Canvas, Gessoboard, Masonite,
Arches. I am looking usually absorbent in appropriate degree
surfaces with very thin textures. |
|

| SKETCHING |
 |
 |
 |
 |
I
just needed to paint a horse. These are preliminary
sketches. And I have more than here.
I am usually working only actions and compositions on
my preliminary sketches. Like what should be horse’s
action. I prefer to spend least one or two days. If
I need to take some photos it may take longer. After
my first sketches I will get some reference photos to
fix my anatomy errors. We have a kodak branded DX6490
digital camera. And if I find a farm I am spending my
time with horses depend on weather condition. |

| PREPARATION |
|
I
am transferring last sketch to gessoboard with using
transfer paper. I am applying this method only for oil
paints. And I am starting to prepare my palette. I am
referring to my colour chart. I prepared it before and
hanged to my wall. Then I am using some metal jars to
mix my mediums. They have metal covers to close tightly
them, so I can use my mediums for longer time..
Also I am sometimes select to covered palettes... I
know all authorities are advicing to wood dark colour
palettes. But I am NOT. Because sometimes I am able
find only a few hours in day to work, and I need to keep my colours wet for a
long time. |
|
|
| |
| PAINTING |
|
| And
this is starting to paint... Usually I am starting from background. I am applying
colour as a very thin layer. Painting size is small 14 x 18 inches. |
| I
am starting to details with this very thin layer. My total labor increase to 5-6
hours approximately at this step. (only colour painting) If I Include the composition,
searchings, drawings and sketchings this may be 2 days.
Please keep going on
images... I am still
working on this painting. Please come again later and see what's going on... | |
