Dear Subscribers,

 

Greetings!

 

New still life. My first painting of 2013, in fact.

 

The setup:

 
 

 

First stage: (I was on a roll so I neglected photos at the very
beginning)

Added a small guy on the right for better composition. The kettlebell is
such a pleasing shape to paint.

 
 

 

Next stage:

 
 

 

At the beginning of the painting I put out my full palette of colors
because I wasn't sure what I'd end up needing. As it turned out, not
much. For the second sitting I only put out the colors I'd used thus
far. A limited palette of ivory black, ultramarine blue, burnt umber,
yellow ochre, cad yellow medium, cad lemon, and titanium white.


 
 

 

 
 

 

And the finished painting, "Iron & Glass"
  (9x12):
