Hi, been away for a few days. I thought I would display the painting I finished from Liliedahl’s School of oil painting
(Old Master Methods Part 1: The Flemish/Bistre Method). This is one of two paintings required for this course. This painting is done with oils and measures 20″x30″. The painting is after “The Snack” by William Bouguereau.
He is one of my favorite painters. I will include a link to some of his work in my next post. He was a very prolific painter for his time and all his pieces are beautiful, at least I think so. This course was not to paint an exact copy but to learn from the old masters and their techniques and to give a better understanding to that process. My copy is in no way comparable to his beautiful piece, but I did learn a lot from the course!
The stages are as follows:
1) drawing stage
2)color glazes
3) final opaque stages-finished painting
