Oil painting

Here is a selection of progressive photos showing the stages of my first well equipped attempt at oil painting! Despite doing a lot of nature orientated mixed media work, I never thought that painting a collection of branches and logs could be so engaging. 

Large scale skills

A1 potrait and hand drawing in pencil! I must admit that drawing on a large scale is diffucult, but the skill is very valuable,

Observationals in the studio

Some more wolves !

Some wolf pottery!

Here is some wolf pottery! And a small leave cluster for a friend.

The latest accidents:

If I'm completely honest, I have no idea what went wrong. Perhapse I used the wrong glaze? Perhapse glaze and glass don't go too well together if they mix? I suspect I will never know what's happened to these pots, but I will definantly start writing the glaze numbers on the base of my pots so it's easier to double check what Tempreature they need firing at!

Original sketches

Here is a prototype for an original sketch project im planning on starting up! Id like to do some wolf sketches in pencil, biro and fine liner which can be mounted and displaced in these smart, collectable glass frames!
