Dandelions in dappled light. A long overdue oil painting on canvas board. ... #Dandelion #oilpainting Image
I had a failed landscape canvas sitting in the corner and finally got around to recycling it into a new painting. The textures and colors show through and gives the dandelions depth and light.
You can see a little of the process here. ImageImage
Moral of story, always keep old canvases around. They make good underpaintings.
The best thing about oils is the depth of color. When you compare Watercolors, Acrylics, Gouache and oils, there's really no denying the richness that is intrinsic to oils. Even when you mix, very little vibrancy is lost. -But it does take much longer.

We're awash with painting tutorials, here's one more! For fans of the forest and the moss. It's a thread. 😉#howto #landscapepainting #tutorials
When laying down the shadows, don't worry if the paint runs together a little. That can help make your painting look coherent. Just make sure your light layers are dry before adding the shadow.
Finally, here's a #timelapse of the whole thing. I hope this was helpful. Materials: Watercolor sketch book, Pencil, Cotman pocket watercolors, Holbein Gouache paints and various small flat brushes and round brushes. Happy to answer any questions or comments. 😊

In a change of pace for this weekend, here's a thread on making a steampunk submersible out of copper and a glass bouy #metalworking #copperjewelry #steampunk #crafts ImageImage
Glass buoy from a thrift shop, old bottle of sauce, scrap wood, soaked in water, and a scribbled grand plan on paper. ImageImageImage
I soldered the frame out of copper sheet and wire. Always have a bucket of water handy. I also used some scrap wood and dowels left over from another project for the outer shell and the 'engines' Propellers made from copper sheet. ImageImageImage

I think...I can do this! Let's go!
♥️
My previous still life attempts have been inconsistent. 😋 But we have to keep trying.
I thought the deadline was a little bit tight, but went out and did my still life painting, because between now and the 20th, today is the only sunny day in the forecast. Lool, it's OCTOBER 20th, not September. 😆 Image
