"Fish and Onions"

 

"Fish and Onions" by Sandra Galda

16"x20" oil on canvas

Here is a work I am just about finished painting.   When finished, it may be going into a show.  The fish have been very cooperative with me through the process.  They have been in and out of the freezer in bags multiple times without complaining. The onions on the other hand had to be replaced from the stage two times due to shrinking and molding. Some performers are difficult. I thought I would show the fish in those bags below:

Above are a few examples of my finished work, made since I began my training at the Ingbretson Studios. I have learned so much over the past three years studying the Boston School Style of art.

During the months of April and May at the Newburyport Art Association, I will be teaching a six week course, "Boston School Lessons to Improve Visual Beauty in Your Art."  I plan on sharing some of the great methods of drawing and painting I have learned so far in my training at the Ingbretson Studios. I believe even a taste of these great studio working customs can improve the visual beauty in your art!  Please Click here for more information.

Brown Paper Drawing Prepartion for Oil Painting

Brown Paper Exercise for Oil Painting by Sandra Galda

18"x22" brown paper, charcoal, white chalk

 

This is a brown paper preparation drawing for a still life.  I have a long way to go yet in achieving excellence in any of the steps I am learning at the studio, but I am hoping this drawing will be approved for execution with oils on oil primed linen soon.   It is drawn using simple brown mailing paper from a roll,  large stick vine charcoal, and white chalk. It is a work I am doing at Ingbretson Studios as part of my ongoing training in the Boston School Style of painting.      http://studio.ingbretson.com/
