Oil Painting Workshop... The Results.

Sean Cheetham is an excellent Artist, I've learnt a lot from him. I've never used oil paint before, but I truly enjoyed his class. Here is what I've done during his 5 days "Alla Prima" Oil Painting workshop at LAFAA... or more precisely, the 2 last paintings. Each one of them is approximatively 6 hours or work.


This is Day 5: (using a limited palette, know as the Zorn palette, Anders Zorn) White, Ivory Black, Yellow Ochre and either Vermilion or Cadmium Red Light or Med, in that case I used Scarlet Red.















And below, Day 4.

Learning Curve.

This is Sean Cheetham, a very fine Artist, of whom I've been watching the back for 7 hours today, as I'm attending his 5 days oil painting class up in Van Nuys. Very interesting, even more for me as I never opened an oil paint tube before.
Tomorrow, I will open a tube, or more if all goes well, and will have my first attempt at "alla prima" painting (sounds very fancy), a portrait.
That's all, a good evening to all of you out there :)

After School.

Behind "Jimmy's Super Lunch"

The guy you see polishing the car asked me nicely if I had a problem, I was staring at the car you see, that's what you do when you draw something, you look at it, he didn't like that. He relaxed a bit after he saw the sketch, he didn't want to make me eat my sketchbook anymore. We are best buddies now. The end.
