New Project

I have been given permission by photographer Kevin Best from Sydney to paint one of his still life compositions and photographs. He is a very talented photographer and makes some of the props in his still life compositions if he is unable to locate what he is looking for. This painting will be done in oil, on 24" x 30" stretched canvas.

Reference photo:


I am using Creative Edge cotton canvas (24" x 30")


To prepare the canvas, I have applied quick-dry white mixed with alkyd and toned with transparent gold ochre:
