Pear- 8x10 Diane Kingma

This is a complimentary value study of a pear. I haven't used oil paints untill recently, so this is a new expirience for me. I have been struggling with the oil paints, but I am starting to feel more confident as I experiment. In this particular study I used the basic complimentary colors of red and green.

Red Apples, By Vic Errington.8x6

I just can`t stop Painting Fruit now I have studied Halls way
of Painting.I keep looking at his DVDs,and I love the way he applies
the Paint,which in turn,makes me want to carry on in his stile.
I would love for him to produce a DVD doing a Landscape,I think
that would be an Eye opener for me.

Pear study,by Vic Errington,8x6

Hi everybody.

This pear was Painted after watching Hall Groat`s DVD Vol`8 Painting of a pear.

I loved the way he teaches and applied his method on a pear of my own that I set

up.Probably the background needs a bit more feeling in it,not sure though.I`m about

to do a study of two Apples using the same method as he uses on his Apples Vol`6.

If I am reasonably happy with it I will ( hopefully ) Post it as well.Thank you Hall,

what great teacher he is.

Monochromatic value study "8 x 10" - Diane Kingma

This is a Monochromatic study is of a coffee cup, using phthalo blue and cadmium yellow mixed together to produce the base hue. I then used black and white mixed with the hue to create the shadows and highlights. Oil paints are a new medium for me, but I found Professor Groat’s DVD, Color Schemes & Harmonies #5, very helpful. I gained an understanding of the techniques used in capturing the contour of the subject in use as well as how to layout where your shadows and highlights will be placed. I had great difficulty taking the picture of my painting because of a glare that occured from my camera, that's why there is a grainy look to it.
