Following on from my last post, today I'm sharing the progress of my latest Glass Painting.
Oils can be a slowwww process when painting in layers like this, but I think it is worth spending the time, not least to say that this painting, when it's done, will last longer than any of us... Oh, and it will age better too!
So, this was the next layer...

Bonjour chère Sandra,
ReplyDeleteJe suis très heureuse de profiter de l'évolution de ta peinture. Elle est déjà magnifique. Effectivement, avec l'huile il faut être patient !... Ton système de séchage est une bonne idée.
Merci pour le partage de tes photos.
Gros bisous ♡
Merci Martin! Je devenais impatient de voir la fin de celui-ci maintenant: 0)
DeleteGros bisous xx
If already looks incredible. I can see how the different glazes work to create that wonderful like in the reflection and the glass. Your dish rack is really clever-I Love finding new uses for things like that!
ReplyDeleteYes it's proving to be very handy! I'm getting impatient to get this one done now so I can concentrate on the next! :0)
DeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteIt is worth the time - the depth you achieve is beautiful! I love your comment that the paintings will age better than we will :)
