Portrait in Oils

My New Year's Resolution was to learn a different medium so I have thrown myself in to the deep end of learning Portraiture in Oils.  My very patient art teacher Geoff Kay is a wonderful and generous teacher sharing his knowledge quite willingly.  This is my first piece, although it seemed to take forever I am relatively happy with the results.  Learning to mix colours and the way they interact with the colours beneath is such a learning curve for me but I am loving every minute of oils and am commencing a new piece in black and white.....I will keep you posted!!

Should you be interested in dabbling in oils I can recommend Geoff's classes for either beginners or advanced students. Geoff's website is below, also check out his amazing work, seriously good!

8 Minutes to Home

"8 Minutes to Home"

Burns Beach and Marmion Avenue
Waiting for the final turn, almost home, the tick tock of the indicator and the glow of the tail lights from the car in front.  The amazing sunset over the ocean is displayed in a brilliance of light in as the day slowly fades away.
