Phase II of Learning to Paint Using Oil

Last night, I went to art class prepared to
paint using my oils.
I took several canvases.  
Two of which, I painted several
different ways & one with 
the picture just drawn in.

I didn't take my acrylics
...I wasn't painting in acrylics ~
...or, so I thought.
...Silly me :)

New technique
...for me that is...
I'm sure for millions out there
it's old hat.
Last night's attempt.

Here's the assignment...
paint using only
white, raw & burnt umber
(in acrylics).

The point is to find the value changes;
then ~ when finished, 
paint in oils :)

Well ~ as you can see,
I'm really struggling with 
God's arm/hands
the babies hand.

Ok ~ so my thought for today,
try the whole assignment
at home & see what happens.

Not wanting to make a mistake at home
and risk making my teacher mad,
I painted a new canvas at home.
This is just the acrylic part.
Hopefully ~ tomorrow, I'll be able
to find some time to paint
using oils.

But ~ as you can see, I'm still
struggling with God's arm/hand
the babies hand :(

We'll see what the oils produce.

Happy Painting :)
