Before my brush touches my canvas, I mix my paints on a palette. I love to create my own colours. I start with the three primaries and keep blending until I get what I need. It’s a game I play every morning. And it’s not only eye candy. To me, it’s mind candy too! Art Toronto, Art Business, Augmented Reality, Any Images, Eye Candy, Art Pieces, Palette, Process, Morning

As an oil painter, I need to prep my wooden panels before I can start my painting.  I use a product called Gesso which acts as a primer.    This process prepares the surface and makes it ready to accept the paint.  ⁠Without Gesso, the paint would soak into the wood.⁠ ⁠ I usually apply two or three coats before painting.  I let the gesso dry thoroughly and then I use sandpaper to eliminate any roughness that I don't want. ⁠ The studio was a HUGE MESS afterwards but I had a great day.

II don't like to paint on a white canvas. I prefer to start in a medium value. Open to anything. I choose burnt sienna because it speaks to me. From here, an oil painting will follow. White Canvas, Sienna, Oil Painting

Oil painters know all about prepping the canvas before we can start painting. We use a product called Gesso which is like a primer. It prepares the surface and makes it ready to accept the paint. ⁠ ⁠ Without Gesso, the paint would soak into the wood or canvas.⁠ ⁠ I usually apply two or three coats before painting. I let it dry thoroughly and then I use sandpaper to eliminate any roughness that I don't want. ⁠ ⁠⁠ It is a very soothing process but it does get MESSY! ⁠ 🙃⁠ Prepping, Coats

Let the fun begin --   Sharpening pencils is part of my process. It takes time. And it must be done very, very carefully. I always show up for this part. Because what inspires me? Is actually doing the work! Let The Fun Begin, Let It Be, Inspire Me, Pencil

Impasto techniques have been used by artists for hundreds of years. Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Jackson Pollock to name a few. For me, impasto increases opacity, body and texture and is ideal for creating extreme textures. I like to apply it on THICK! I use an artist-quality Modelling Paste to build up depth. I like to wait at least 24 hours for it to cure. Only then, will I begin the process of adding layers of oil colours. With my BRUSH! And another part of the process begins.
