First painting on panel

This is my first photo of a portrait study of our model Alex, using oil paint on panel. He posed for three sessions. Interesting to paint on "wood" panel, it is kind of slick with the first coat.




This is the finished piece and i
pretty much like the way it turned
out.

Assignment after sky

To learn more about mixing oils and painting texture, we were to bring in a stuffed animal to include in a still life, or however you wanted to paint it. i chose my "lamby" from childhood. She got her tonsils out when i did. Here is the first step in that painting....got the shadows in and color on the canvas.
