I was intrigued and inspired by @bananacarley work on black ground so I gave it a try. I worked a bit too tightly trying to manage the shapes in an unfamiliar way and I lost the likeness to the source image. Overall the process felt fairly organic as the image developed.

Warmer weather will help with drying oil paints around here, that's for sure! #oilpaintdrying #oilpaintportraits #oilpaintingprogress #holbeinoils #holbeinduoaquaoil #newcontemporaryart #reducedcolors https://ift.tt/2ILDR5x
I’ve been experimenting with colored grounds quite a bit lately, which can give a painting a more consistent tone and can influence the tint or ‘temperature’ in a warmer or cooler fashion. A Violet background has worked well for photo reproductions and plays nicely with skin color. Reds and Orange have added a lot of warmth and consistency to my 4 Cobalts palette. Sap Green and light Blue create some interesting interactions. I love working with Neon Pink, but it’s difficult to work organically in developing skin tone with such an intense color... nothing else can compete until you cover it up a bit. If you are an artist who experiments with colors I’d love to hear about some of your favorite combinations or interesting results. #oilonwoodpanel #oilonpanel #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #allaprima #allaprimapainting #art #painters #fineart #artoftheday #instaart #portrait #portraitpainting #paintedportrait #instaartist #instaartwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #figurativepainting #landscapepainting #colorpaletteexperiments #coloredgrounds #paintingvideos #oilpaintingvideo #oilpaintingprogressions https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XrX7docbD/?igshid=asdfgem9pkpg
Do you use your sketchbook to transition to paints? I often do, and this was no exception. While thinking about @mementoteagallery's 'Centuries Decay', I was sketching outside of my comfort zone. That's when I came up with the final design for 'Clear Cut'. Would you like to see this piece in it's final form? https://ift.tt/34KlOpS 🦋 #paintingbutterflies, #oilpaintingprogress, #butterflyartworks, #artwork, #fineart, #painting, #newcontemporary, #butterflyartwork, #newcontemporaryart, #inspiration, #tracyeire, #watercolor, #fantasyart, #fairyart, #fantasticart, #drawings, #photo, #artwork, #tracyeire, #artofthedays, #artnerd https://ift.tt/2LST9pV
Stephen posted a video to Instagram: Working with true oils in ultramarine blue, red-violet, and white! It does look bit like working in CMY, and I do have a yellow for darker colours. I'm just trying to mind my values! #canvaspad #gamblinoils #oldhollandoilpaint #rembrandtoilpaint #oilpaintingprogress #newcontemporaryart https://ift.tt/31zwftU
In an all new low, when I posted this pic it didn't even show up in my own feed. It's like I'm not even there. How nice. How encouraging, Instagram. I wonder if Bellevue Fine Arts Reproduction remembers who I am by now? I haven't been since before I got sick. But these three will have to go for their scans at some point! Lol! I plan to name them 'Melty roses', 'Weed halo', and 'Butterfly Charlie's Angels' on their respective registry sheets! XD (No, I don't!) But I am a bit nervous, in spite of that. Lol! But... scanny-scan, ladies. 🦋#paintingbutterflies, #oilpaintingprogress, #butterflyartworks, #artwork, #fineart, #painting, #newcontemporary, #butterflyartwork, #newcontemporaryart, #inspiration, #tracyeire, #watercolor, #fantasyart, #fairyart, #fantasticart, #drawings, #photo, #artwork, #tracyeire, #artofthedays, #artnerd http://bit.ly/2URjEms
This is a progression pic (still wet oils!), and there's a way to go on this one, but I can feel it coming together. :) Btw, this is the Queen of Butterflies. She's here with some of her royal courtiers in a dance across the forest floor. She'll live her whole life in 9 months or less. So I bet she dances, every chance she gets.🦋#paintingbutterflies, #oilpaintingprogress, #butterflyartworks, #butterflyartnews, #butterflyartwork, #butterflyqueen1 https://ift.tt/2UFsaBq
