This week, I first finished my brunei and then added some highlights. I was originally going to attempt an only glazing method, but I think I'm going for a more direct approach now. i also wasn't sure if I should use linseed oil or liquin for my "glazing" medium. Liquin dries quicker, but is less traditional, but I ended up going with it. This is my second oil painting, but my other one was done in Art 3 and we never actually added color so this is all new to me. I went ahead and did the cup with a more direct method. I enjoyed the process, but got confused over the proportions of the plate which I can hopefully fix next time. I'm trying to paint from life which is challenging because I keep feeling like things are too big or too small. The benefit of glazing over direct painting is that it creates a sense of depth that I was hoping to achieve. I think even if I go for a more direct approach like I did with the background and cup, I'll go back and glaze to add more nuanced hues. I definitely feel like the background is much cooler than it appears in real life which is probably because I painted it as the sun was setting, so my colors were off. Next week, I have to wrap it up rather quickly, so I am going to favor the direct painting style and hopefully have time to add details before critique.
