oil on paper…

 

It has been a little while since I have used oil on paper.  The technique I am using on panel right now seemed to beg me to pull out some deckle-edged water color paper.  I primed the paper with a few layers of gesso and then about a week later I started putting down some washes of oil… with lots of turpentine.  On top of this I continued building layers with oil paint brushed on, splattered on, and drawn on top with oil stump.  Here are some close ups of the texture.  I will post complete photos when I am ready to share them.
