Oil Painting lesson with Gregory Smith

I had a new subject today. 

That piece of wood at back is going to be a big challenge. 

As usual, starting with initial wash and rub back. This time, because there’re already lots of warmth in there, Gteg told me to mix Burnt Sienna with Raw Umber. That was a good suggestion. 

My first plotting wasn’t too bad. After measuring angles and proportions, it’s getting better. I think it’s a good start. 

Work in progress. 16x20 in.
