Vase of Purple and White Freesia (Oil Bar Painting Day 2)

Vase of Purple and White Freesia (Oil Bar Painting Day 2) Originally uploaded by randubnick

This morning I went back to Red Brick and worked on this oil bar still life. I could only paint for an hour today, so I concentrated on adding white to the flowers, to define the shapes of the blossoms. Then I began adding white to the vase, to begin to define its shape and to try to create the texture of the glass vase. The hour went quickly, not only because I was having fun (which I was), but also because painting with oil bars is new for me and a big challenge. When it was time to leave, I could already see things I wanted to change, but they will have to wait till next time. To be continued. . .
