Real life - Oils

What a week!  I had the best time and learned so much about oil painting from Dreama Tolle Perry at a Whidbey Island Fine Art Studio workshop.  I learned how to use dark transparent paints to start the painting.  We drew the painting and blocked in transparent colors with a generous amount of medium.  On the second round we used our local color and no medium to lay the lighter values.  Each time we changed a color, the brush had to be cleaned in order to keep the next color as pure as possible.  The paintings vibrate with color and energy.  Here are some examples.
