The first painting seminar went exceptionally well.
Take a look at what the Ladies did!!!!
The theme was green pears on a white plate against a black background. We painted from a photograph and worked on the pieces for 4 weeks, 2 hours a week.
This is the result and it is stunning!!!

For your interest I am posting a series of photos capturing the stages of an emerging Oil Portrait.
I have started by priming my canvas with a dark grey. I personally like painting on wooden boards, the painting surface is much smoother.
Then I “sketched” the image onto the canvas, using a fine brush and dark Umber. After that, I darkened the areas which appear to be in the shadows in the photo.
The next step was to apply color to the painting, and to start working out the details.
I’ll keep posting pictures as I go along.
