Demonstrations

 

left image - pastel, right image - acrylic

These are 2 studies, the first is pastel, the second acrylic. I have begun painting this in oil. The purpose of these studies was to work out the color harmonies and overall gesture / composition of the piece before going to oil.

Below is the progression of the piece in oil, the last image is the final painting:

under painting, burnt sienna and turpenoid

color map, limited palette (cobalt, alizarin, yellow ochre, burnt umber, titanium white) & turpenoid

alla prima - limited palette same as above & 50/50 mix linseed and turps

final painting - 11x14, oil on canvas, SoHo Scaffold

Urban Landscape, oil on canvas (30×40) in progress. Palette = burnt umber, titanium white, cobalt blue, alizarin crimson, yellow ochre 

Click here to see the images enlarged.  This has a long way to go, however subtle changes are not visible digitally so I won’t post this painting again until it is finished.
