Description
This is a collaboration between a student and myself. It's 24 by 60 inches, oil on canvas.
This particular student has been working in watercolour for almost a year, but decided to switch over to oil a couple of weeks ago. Glad she did, actually - I think she has a real knack for it. My job in this was to show her basic palette knife techniques, colour mixing to get the right effect, and texturing. I adjusted a few things perspective-wise as well, but for the most part, the student did the actual painting.
Instead of regular small palette knives (which would have been too small), we used slices of foam board to apply the paint. We used a picture from an old calendar as the basic reference and altered it substantially.
