Much to my dismay, the pictures of my first attempt at oil painting have too much glare to post, so I have to figure a way around that before I try again. Anymore photos tonight will have glare from the flash, so I get to try something different.
Last night's class was pretty depressing when I couldn't match the first few colors during the color mixing exercise, but that is because I had odd ball colors, nothing like sage or goldenrod, but something like golden meadow and shadows of a misty dawn and such pretentiously named colors, reminiscent of a thing, not actually representative of it.
As it turned out, my mixing never got up to snuff, so the colors in last night's hastily painted painting are hardly what I would refer to as accurate...except maybe the bottle. Sometime I will get that painting here, and actually next week, we start a multi-day painting, which should be fun and festive, and will hopefully look better than the collection of stuff I am posting right now.
That's it for now...off to some tator tots & beer.
