This is another piece from Laurel Daniel's workshop. This piece started with a line and mass block-in. Laurel gave us a great hand-out which explained this time honored, classic approach.
For the block-in you are to spread the pigments thinly, scumble and scrub in. In the top practice, I had my pigment too thick, and mixed it w/ too much linseed oil, so I tried again. In the bottom practice I started to get it. Laurel uses a neutral mix of alizaron, french ultramarine and raw umber. She uses this for her starts, as well as for a mixture throughout the painting. Todays mix appears blacker than the one I showed you on my last post. This just shows the lines, not masses, blocked in.

Gorgeous finish! Love all the subtle shades in your lemons. Very dramatic. Like the dark background - similar to what we talked about before. So glad you didn't try it on the tomatoes painting.
Beautiful color harmony. Thanks for blogging about your experience.
How wonderful for you that you were a part of such a great group of artists..thanks for sharing it all. Your work looks great!
Debbi, The lemons were a fun challenge, warm and cool shades at the same time!
