STUDIO UPDATE: Getting there...


My painting week in photos:

Just after writing my Paint Party Friday blog post last week, new art supplies arrived in the mail! 

 'Not your Ordinary Madam' and two other paintings found new homes where they will be treasured.

Here's the Fabrino 'Tela' Oil Paper in use, it's such a high quality paper, I'm very impressed.

The practice trees for the top left need a few branches before I paint them on the large piece.

The colour guide for the different values of the foliage.

Happy Paint Party Friday all!
Enjoy your weekend xx
