Under-painting
Here is the under-painting for my latest painting. It uses a limited palette of burnt sienna, van dyke brown, cerulean blue, and raw sienna. This painting is in oil and on an 18 by 24 inch canvas.

Still-life Under-painting
I decided to do something different this time for the under-painting for this still-life. Typically, I use a glaze of burnt sienna and medium, and then go in with burnt umber for darks. After that, I pull out some lights with a little solvent. This time, I went with a glaze of cerulean blue and medium, then using straight cerulean blue for the darks and pulling out some lights with solvent. The still-life has a lot of cool colors, and a cool light on it, so this seemed more appropriate.

Still Life Under-painting
I started a new painting this week, to keep up my painting skills between painting classes. This one is an oil of a still life of some bottles of oil and vinegar, garlic, and onions. At this stage, it is just the under-painting, using just two colors, burnt sienna, and burnt umber, with some medium.

Advanced Portraits -- Painting 3
This is the third painting from our advanced portrait painting class. This was a quick one, obviously, since it is not complete. We only spent one class period on it, with maybe 2.5 hours painting. I'm not sure that I will do any more on it, since I only really like painting from a live model. As a result, it will likely stay unfinished. In fact, I kind of consider it a study, rather than a finished painting. I can see a lot of things I'd fix if I had more time.
