oils


i'm really pleased with the outcome of my figs & pomegranate
oil paintings. 
and slightly baffled at the same time... 



i painted those under Roz's guidance following 
old painting techniques (the name escape me right now... was is grisaille?)

i started painting in black and white, without any colours 
until everything was in place;
 only in the last layer 
a coloured glaze is added on top.


at first it felt dull and confusing 
and suddenly to my amazement it all fell into place!


and they match my Proteas!
