Even More adventures with Caput Mortuum

I think I am getting the measure of this colour. This is a small work - around 20cm x 18cm,

I was given a gorgeous new Hahnemuhle sketch book for my birthday. (Thank you John and Julie)

So today I christened it with some drawing at Lazar Krum's Thursday morning class at the Sea Scout Hall located in Fairbairn Park by the Maribyrnong River - a lovely location and a very enjoyable class.

I had intended to draw the two statues here 

 but I took my time warming up on the small owl and the there Grecian statue.

Then I got distracted by the lemons

More to come....

The Exquisite Palette Show

St Luke's in Collingwood is running The Exquisite Palette Exhibition once more.
The idea is that everyone who enters the exhibition starts with a plain wooden palette and then makes an art work with it ....

... here is my entry titled "Don't Let Me Go". It is a digital print on archival paper

 Here is the information about the exhibition. The opening night is a great party so we are looking forward to it.

Adventures with Caput Mortuum

 

What a wonderful birthday present, a tube of Old Holland Caput Mortuum and a tube of Gamblin Titanium Zinc White oil paints.

So off to the studio to mix it with Prussian Blue, Viridian and some Raw Umber on a test strip and then onto a little test page.

 Will be learning more about Caput Mortuum through further experiements. Enjoying using the delicious white as well.
