Peonies in Pink Oil on masonite, 6x6 |
Another day of playing with my new Princeton Catalysts - and the thick, textural strokes they make! I find I am liking the #6 head the most, it seems to work in a natural way when making "palette knife" like strokes. I have some others coming, too - and I can hardly wait to experiment with them! These are exceptional to use with the thick, buttery oils. It is a bit like spreading icing!! I have so many peonies in the flower beds, and here I am working from last year’s photo reference. Hard to believe these beauties will be bursting in just two months! This painting makes 1144 in 1144 days.
They are marvellously rendered. I wonder where you live that you have peonies at this time of year?
