How do you paint chains?

Hi Virgil, I remember you too! It is very nice of you to take the time to share your technique here and it is greatly appreciated! It would be great if you could post an example of your work, so we can see how different techniques produce equally interesting results.

I found a wonderful detailed image of Rembrandt's "Jewish Bride" here

Enzie,

You'll find a few reproductions of my work, and quite a bit of this kind of information, in my book, which has just now hit the market. The title is "Traditional Oil Painting: Advanced Techniques and Concepts from the Renaissance to the Present" published by Watson-Guptill Publications. Some of my paintings printed too dark in the book, though I suppose most of them still look okay, more or less. But the Old Master paintings, of which there are many shown, all reproduced well.

You can get an idea what some of my paintings look like by taking a look at my web site, http://www.virgilelliott.com

It's good to talk to you again.

Virgil
