Today I finished re-framing of "Awakening" before shipping it down to FL. I love this new frame, it is just what I wanted for this painting. Still need to pack it, label it and tomorrow out it goes. It will be a first time when i have to ship out one of my bigger paintings (other then miniature), what makes me worry a little. I should see it again next month during our trip to Naples to see the reception of
Tatiana, this is gorgeous! You've handled that icy crust so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank You, Autumn! I love this painting too and very exited about it's journey!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteForgive my ignorance, do I see a brush in your hand - I thought this was done in oil pastels?
OR is it a pastel pencil?
Love your work.
Yes, you are not mistaking - it is a brush. And it was painted in Oil Pastel.I'm normally starting my Oil Pastels with drawing and finishing with painting - dissolving some of sticks with solvent and brushing it over. Almost like I would work with Oil paint or Gouache. Sometimes I'm using natural sable brushes and sometimes - synthetic. One what you see is a white sable syntactic brush, what I like a lot.
