This is a blog about painting: specifically, representational fine art, generally, using oil paint. I think a lot about what I'm doing, and those thoughts about subject matter, technique, influences, frustrations and delights all show up here. It's all about the journey.

Right Now This Looks Like Chaos
I have to remember not to be seduced by the raised stroke produced by a loaded brush when working on the hair; in order to be photorealistic, the surface has to be smooth as glass.
Turned out the Permanent Carmine was a good match for the wig at upper right; I had been afraid I wouldn't be able to reproduce that violent crazy pink.
