Round Robin 2015

My long time art friend and I decided to do a 10 page round robin that will most likely be a two year project! What I love about this round robin is that we both have different styles and we will be challenging each other with each page. This was my first painting. I challengened her to paint the back of the chipboard page with the challenge of painting a window or door. I can't wait to see what she creates. As soon as she posts her page with her challenge, I will link to her blog so you can look at her first page. It's so exciting!
Here is the link to her page, round robin.

Oil Sticks on Gessobord

 

 

I have come to the realization that with oil sticks, you need two to three days to finish a painting. Especially, the small details and highlights. The jury is still out on this painting. I wanted the focal point to be the stove and I think I accomplished that. I also worked on perspective and depth. I feel the colors are off but I am done tweaking and adding color. The picture that inspired me was a really dark picture with lots of shadows. I don't like dark. 

 

In other news, I am involved in a round robin that I will be posting the first painting tomorrow. Details coming real soon!
