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/

In Process: The Biltmore Visitor


 I began this painting of my daughter last Friday and here it is so far.  I am working off a photo taken when she was only 2 years old.  We were visiting The Biltmore Mansion in NC, and she was enjoying the overgrown vines just outside the music room on a beautiful porch. I am not sure about the title.

In Process: day 2: Manchester Creek

 In Process Day 2 finishing Manchester Creek by Sandra Galda
11x14 inches oil on cradled gessoboard

I worked on this landscape again today in an effort to finish it soon.  Seeing the small digital of it posted helped me to notice many areas in dire need of work.  I still see more that I think I can adjust. I am find very effective advice from reading "Carlsons Guide to Landscape Painting." Squinting my eyes is good too.  If interested in purchasing any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use the PayPal button if included in the post.

 Update: more work in process: Beatrix's Roses by Sandra Galda
12"x13" approx. oil on oil primed linen


 "Brown Paper Study" by Sandra Galda


Thought you may like to see additional work I am doing now.  The brown paper charcoal drawing is part of the studio process which helps an artist determine if he has an acceptable value pattern and composition.  I have a long way yet to go on the painting, this type of work is very representational and each area must be as true to color value and form so it is a long process. There is much to be learned through this kind of training. I am thankful for the the wise guidance of my art teacher!
