I thought I had better get some work done on this piece that I started (see post on 09 May 2016) for the Church Show coming up in September.
First I made a large pool of pure burnt sienna in one well of my palette and then mixed another of raw sienna with a small amount of burnt sienna in another well.
I applied the raw sienna mix into the areas of the background wood where the sunlight touched of the panels.
Then I painted the rest of the wood with vertical strokes, varying the darkness and lightness throughout the background.
Using pure raw sienna I laid in the under paint for the wooden tray on the table and added a few shadows on the front of the tray with the raw sienna mix.
I set this painting aside to let it dry and will post it at a later date when I start working on the table.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.
