Self Portrait on Pittura
Self Portrait on Pittura
Oil on Pittura paper
135x110mm
$100
Another experiment with a different surface. This was a small sample of Pittura brand paper. It's meant to be for oil or acrylic so I didn't prime it with gesso as I usually do. I have to say it is quite possibly the worst surface I have ever painted on. The oil just got sucked out of the paint making it lifeless and unpleasant. A bit like the subject perhaps.

Another for the business card series. I photographed it whilst still on the painting board for a bit of variety. Or something. Perhaps I could subtitle this one "Coalface".

Belly Button
Oil on gessoed card

With all this navel gazing I thought it would be fun to do a painting of my belly button.

Oil on Gessoed Business Card
90x55mm
Experimenting with different surfaces and formats. I liked the idea of painting on the back of a business card. It worked quite well, but I will have to mount it onto something less flimsy. The next day I tryed a high archive quality card, also gessoed, cut to the same proportions as the business card. I might do a series of them and group them all together.
