Oil Painting Details

Painting Materials:

·         I use Australian made artist quality Art Spectrum oil paints.

·         My  main palette colours are:

·         Titanium White·         Cobalt Blue·         Phthalo Blue·         Ultramarine Blue

·         Viridian·         Cadmium Red·         Light Red·         Cadmium Orange

·         Permanent Crimson·         Cadmium Yellow·         Naples Yellow

·         Yellow Ochre·         Burnt Sienna·         Burnt Umber

 Painting Surface:

 ·         I use a 3mm Craftwood (low acid) Artist board which has been primed with an acrylic priming paint.

·         Or I use primed artist canvas over stretcher bars.

  Framing:   A matter of personal taste

·         Traditionally oil paintings have been framed using timber moulding(s) to compliment the painting. This is a method used by my picture framer and myself.

·         Watercolor and pastel paintings must be framed under glass  for  protection  of  the painting surface. Even though glass is not needed  for protection  of an oil painting, I like the qualities of reflection and gloss that this style of framing gives. Thus, I do frame many of my artist board paintings, especially marine scenes, in this way. 

        Many of my large canvases look their best unframed when I paint around the edge of the canvas.

ENJOY  YOUR  PAINTING  !
