From surgery to cast to imprimatura
I haven't been around (except for reading) because I had joint replacement surgery on my right/dominant hand three weeks ago. It will be three more weeks in a cast and then four to six weeks physical therapy before I will be able to paint again. You can imagine the desperate, insane, wanting I have to paint.
So now that I have the use of my four fingers (sticking out of the cast) I decided today to try an imprimatura. I was able to draw the figures with my left hand (very suprised, actually) and wipe out the highlights and lights with my right index finger and a rag. Here are my first efforts...thanks for looking. Perhaps you can image my excitement to be doing ANYTHING in oils!!!!!!!!!!!
