Still life Oil painting

 

“On the floor”

 

This was a simple setup of an orange. Oil on canvas board 9” by 12”

The children wanted to use the blender today, which got me a little nervous since is the first time they are allowed to use it, expecting having blue berries, strawberry smoothie all over the walls.

Wile drinking the mixed berries, asked them if I could borrow one of the oranges to paint, they all agreed at the same time, and say uhuum… and this still life was born. .

Art original oil painting First Harvest Cherries on Canvas

 

 

 

Titled: “First Harvest” 16” by 20” Oil Painting Sketch.

Cherries!  first harvest of  May, farms of South New Jersey.  For this portrait an experience made in to a memory. One of the goals here is to  invite You the viewer to experience the moment and enjoy it as much as the  character, different tones of blues, complementing, and lines that  are used to take you to the center subject, which are the cherries.

From the background down, points out to the center, in return once you get there, the leaves invites your view to stop and jump back and look at the background.

Color an important Psychological part of any painting.  Part of technical, The artwork focus rather in having fun, and enjoyment! Yes skill is required, but should not be  the overall important thing, errors and mistakes in my case are acceptable, because no matter how many years of experience we have, there is always room for improvement.

Still Life Oil Painting progress

 

I like to introduce you to a new oil painting.  Still Life in Oils 12” by 12”  and for the obvious playing with the background which is painted simultaneously with the still life, aiming for texture and a good color scheme letting it rest or stepping back .   

Working from photographs, but ahh que mas da, tengo que jugar con lo que esta a mi alcance en el momento si al verlo te hace feliz, lo demas no importa~

“on the Atsion lake”

Say yes to random! see what else is there in your reference photos?  There is a vast potential for more than just one painting in one single photo, action painting is a way of keeping your mind, fresh and full of ideas. 

For this painting Anders Zorn came back to mind a master in completing he's figures with a limited palette  and whom I’ve had the pleasure to study for the past several years. The randomness in action of  must of he’s nudes figures gave me the zing to try this one out, abstracting as much as possible every trace of detail.

Oil painting study

 

Bailando tango

The not so simple task of composition in a developing  painting, some come out as paintings some don’t make it… but the idea is passed on to the next, at the moment re arrange or positioning the figures in the case of the sketch, 9” by 8” how both subjects interact with each other is important.  The idea for the next oil painting.  After, the 20” watercolor is finished, put on hold for the past weeks since my health being on a storm.

Explaining in details  the technical part of painting is important, gives an idea to the viewer about the research, time dedicated and value. 

 

 

 

Oil Painting Lilly flower

 

 

Use small paintings for larger scale paintings, it will help you to plan a head and with time, as well as to choose a color palette and correct your previous mistakes. It  will  give more strength to your drawings,  and must importantly, will help you in your composition.

Each painting should be looked as a continuation of the previous, if you dabble in watercolors or any other medium, use it as a preview of what’s next in your painting projects.

The canvas irregularity's made this painting a challenge. nevertheless, The Lilly now sits happily drying. The background greens and darks makes it to stand out.  This painting will be done for sure again in a larger scale.

Born out of the inspiration from this resent watercolor painting, where the flower  sits down on a teacup.
