Floral Painting in Oils

Cyclamen Flowers

About This Painting:

 I like to paint thick and expressionistic. I usually work with a very limited cool warm primary palette also known as a double primary palette.


I use Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Red as my warm and cool reds e but for this paining I chose Da Vinci Cadmium Orange and Rose Madder.


There are a wide range of colors to choices available and trying to decide what to paint with can be overwhelming, that is why I think learning to work with a limited color palette and mix your own colors is vital to understand how to mix and use color.


There are many different kinds of limited palettes. There are the palettes of the Old Master, Earth toned palettes and the palettes of the Impressionists' pick one that you like and work with it for a while and see what you learn.

Fourth of July Cupcakes

Red White and Blue Cupcake,cherries and blue berries

About This Painting: Oil paints are extremely versatile. I used both impasto and glazing in this Fourth of July Cupcake oil painting. Oil paints can be used thickly in Impasto , like the frosting on the cupcake or extremely thinly in transparent  glazes as I have done on the cherries ; they can be opaque or transparent. Here are is a tip to help you get the most from your oils when painting.


Tip:Always lay your oil paints out on your palette in the same order so that, with time, you'll be able to pick up a bit of a colour instinctively.


I use a limited double primary palette with a few other colour's that I use regulaly. I start with white on the left, move to the yellows, reds, greens, and blue. What ever way feels right to you is okay. Just put them in the same order each time.
