Mike: Thank you very much I sure do hope so, his painting is exquisite and I wish I knew more about his technique.
What I know is that he painted this painting on canvas dimentions were 90x121cm
(35.43"x3' 11.64")
I chose paper for a couple of reasons, 1st I wanted to put a painting in my sketchbook, I thought it would be a good idea to have quite a few paintings in there instead of sketchs to show to clients, I thought it would have a good impression.
2nd if anything goes wrong I could always turn the page and start over
)
I prepared the paper 1st with a white gesso primer Winsor&Newton, paper would absorb too much oil so I figured if I use a primer it would be better.
Michele: Thank you, glad you like it, I thought a colorful approach would be more fiting to add life, and to help me in the finish
