Painting of a little silk cloth

May 25, 2016May 25, 2016 | Katherine Scrivens

A quick little study piece.

For me, there is nothing quite as exciting as painting a little silk cloth! My method with this little painting has been: grisaille and over glazing in acrylics to achieve the shine and deep colour.

Hot

I am continuing in the theme of hot reds and oranges. So far there is no warmth in the Danish summer as such, so it’s kind of nice to heat things up in the studio with the warmer colours while it gusts and rains outside.

Until next time, Katherine ❤

A lot of red

Loose brush work and a lot of warm reds create this mysterious woman in her dressing gown.

Slow

November 25, 2014November 25, 2014 | Katherine Scrivens

Here’s an oil painting I have worked on for some time now. It is going at a deliciously slow rate which I rather enjoy. Every crease and fold deserves maximum attention. I decided tonight to move her out of the bright studio lights and into the soft warm glow of the living room. This will hopefully help me to see the tones differently before I work on her again tomorrow. Btw, she does look rather at home in this room, don’t you think?
