Onward and upward

Moons seem to be a theme this week, so I am trying out different media and techniques. This time, a set of three 6x6" moons using oil on oil paper, to be mounted on 6x6" panels. One more moon to go - silver moon in a winter landscape to go in a silver frame I just found. I love painting on a black background now. 

One mistake to correct or burn - I used actual varnish instead of retouch varnish on the two earlier 6x6" moon panels. They are not looking good as the oil paint was not dry enough for varnish. I will wait and see what happens...

The new "Nicola Storm" is looking ok so far, I am just waiting for it to dry before the next layer. 

​Next - "Tracey's Daisies" in oil on a 12x12" cradled panel. This time I will follow the rules: grisaille in shades of grey, and let it DRY. Then glaze a transparent light yellow over all +and patch in the additional colours with minimal blending.
