Here's Mum's Portrait in Oils with the first layer of colour. I am not know for showing works in progress. However, I have already found that working with Oil paints can be a much longer process, than say watercolours, so here is an insight in anticipation of what the New Year brings. It is exciting as I am pretty new to Oils and the underpainting method as used by Mazart Studio and many of the Old Masters. The best part about oils is the ability to change things and this painting will certainly see some changes as it moves forward. This is a reminder to me of my Mum before she became frail and left this earth several years ago. I am so thankful she turned to her Saviour, Jesus, before it was too late. The painting is 18" x 12" on cotton canvas.
