VALDEZ - 30"X24" Work in Progress (Glazes)

Studio No. 516 - VALDEZ (Valdez, New Mexico) - 30"x24" Work in Progress (Glazes) - It is my belief that this stage of the painting is essential - after the underpainting has dried thoroughly, I use my oil painting medium to thin the colors to a transparent or semi-transparent glaze.  This is where I establish the darks and develop a richness to the final painting.  Color Notes:  Earth tones - Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Yellow, Burnt Sienna.  Shadows:  Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple.  Foliage - Darks:  Prussian Blue and Burnt Sienna.  Lighter shades:  Yellow Ochre and Burnt Sienna (and sometimes a dirty brush with the greens still on it - modulates the color).

OVERNIGHT FAST DRYING GLAZING MEDIUM

OVERNIGHT FAST DRYING GLAZING MEDIUM - Years ago a very well-known California painter, Robert Clark (egg tempera), took my Craft of Painting Workshop.  He was very generous in sharing his knowledge and I know I learned more from him than he ever learned from me.  Bob believed that this mixture was several hundred years old and had been used by Renaissance painters.   This is the recipe he gave me for a glazing medium - I have used it for over forty years to thin my oils as I am working:  Caution:  Mix in Glass Bottle or Jar! - Six ounces distilled turpentine (Winsor-Newton), one ounce dammar varnish, one ounce stand oil and one quarter teaspoon Cobalt Dryer.  (I usually double or triple the recipe)  Bob gave me a great gift - this medium adds life to the colors!  Enjoy!
