March 2007 Archives

Another two paintings have emerged in my latest panel series. My only panel series. The first one came about because I was thinking of revisiting my black paintings and also because I was out of white. The figure is painted in Gamblin's Silver, which is actually aluminum suspended in oil. Once I thinned it a bit it laid down beautifully -- just one of the best feeling paints I've ever used. I could brush it on all day. Although it has a very strong odor, very different from other Gamblin paints.

Now I need to prime the remaining four panels and get to work on those.

New Panels (with Paint)

| 6 Comments

My panel-fueled burst of painting has continued. Since I finally ran out of white paint (two 150mL tubes, one each of Titanium White and Flake White Replacement) I think it'll be halted for a bit.

The first two I experimented with putting down a layer of Galkyd and OMS. That made the surface easier to paint on and it dried quickly. In fact I jumped into the first painting so fast I didn't take in-progress photos like I usually do. Then I moved on to the panels I hadn't added the extra layer to. It did make a positive difference.

I'm thinking of breaking with my current method and titling the very last one. I'm thinking of calling it "Dripping Pink." But then I think it's too smart-ass.
