Portrait Study of Grego - wip

"Portrait Study of Grego - wip"

15x22 cm, oil on wood (wip)

 Have been doing a few studies to practice for the coming portrait workshop. This study is painted from a photograph and it still is very much a wip, on it's first stage. I might continue this one later by working on variation of  darks and rendering the lights. This painting has a toned background.

Cad Yellow Deep Oil Tube

"Cad Yellow Deep Oil Tube"

This little daily painting is painted on a gessoed paper. It is my Michael Harding Cad Yellow Deep oil tube which I brought from a plein air painting trip to Italy, Rome, where I can find good quality paints and art stores. Earlier this year I participated a daily painting challenge and wanted to try to paint quickly different things and materials with oils. The photo is taken late at night so the lightning isn't the best possible.

#16 Memories from Lapland

"Memories from Lapland - Neljän Tuulen hattu"

20x30 cm, oil on wood

The other day I found this Sami Hat in a box in the storage. I thought it would give a nice addition to a still life set up because of deep the red color and curious shape. The hat is called Four Wind Hat and back in old days it was used as part of a traditional dress, it still belongs to the dress. I've had it since I was 5 yrs old and got it as a souvenir. The reindeer horn we bought from Lapland on the plein air trip 2013. I think they fit together well for a still life theme.

#13 Sea Shell

"Sea Shell"

22x15 cm, oil on wood, 40 €

Memories from the Mediterranean Sea. I painted this sea shell as a daily painting. I chose a red cloth for the background & table because I wanted to see how red color behaves with a light object.

Sea shell and Canada Balsam (sold)

"Sea shell and Canada Balsam"

(not available)

One of my earlier daily painting from this June. Painting is painted on a canvas paper and it represents a sea shell and my Canada Balsam medium bottle wrapped around the folio. I needed a quick theme for the daily painting. I was doing a 30 paintings challenge back in June.
