Zachary

6" x 6"

Oil on canvas

Amber L Bailey

I have to say how excited I am to have my plein air panels! Tonight was my first night trying out the small 6" x 6" squares and the painting just seemed to fall together all by itself. I started with a burnt umber under painting and then blocked in Zachary's face like a value study, then proceeded with my mix of cadmium red hue and permanent green light, etc etc. I have had this picture of Zach for a while and have been meaning to paint it. I'm sure I will have to reshoot this painting in daylight and do away with the light reflecting from the wet oil. By the way, my friend Jennifer (in the portrait below) is the photographer. Her link is in my list of links - Jennifer Burggren. Zachary is Jennifer's nephew for those who were curious. :)
