Vermeer

Oil Painting

As of 3/22/09 I have 2 oil paintings in progress.

When I first saw the famous painting by Vermeer called "Girl with pearl earring" I was so struck by this painting I decided to make an attempt at a copy.  I have completed a sketch, and started a canvas.  The actual painting is (approximately) 16 x 18 inches.  My canvas is the same size.  I transferred the sketch to my canvass, and this is a view of the canvas after my first pass at the background.  As you can see, I have a long way to go.  The canvas is mounted on my home made easel - which was quite a project in its own right.

My other oil painting has a working title of "Fire Lane".  This canvas is 16 x 20 (a standard size).  It is a little further along, but also has a long way to go.  Here is the photo I am working from.

Studies

First study is 2 on 1 page - an eye and a value (shading) study.

#2 = no name.  2 heads

#3 = no name 3 heads

#4 = apple

#5 = coffee mug

#6 = pear

#7 = book

#8 = eye02

#9 = another value study

#10 = eye03

#11 = apple color

#12 = eye04

#13 = generic schnoze

That's all for the studies for now - you get the idea.
