Leather Chair
oil on panel
9" x 12"
We stayed at our friends' family house in Carmel before summer and I was taken by the way the light reflected off this chair's leather surface. I painted a small study in oil early on, but just today put the finishing touches on the painting. Interiors are challenging in so many ways and I find them intriguing in terms of rendering them in a variety media. In my classes, I teach my students to use markers, color pencils and watercolor for their interiors and furniture pieces, but I save the oils for myself!
That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, I know there aren't green drapes in the cottage, but I decided to take artistic liberty. Anyway, the carpet is now gone and you'll notice I left out the door to the bedroom in the back corner...
ReplyDeleteNice job. Have you been looking at Wayne's work?
ReplyDeleteI always look at Wayne's work when it's around and I'm looking forward to attending his three day acrylic workshop!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, Den--way better than in real life... Although, in the interest of accuracy, it should probably be titled "Pleather Chair." --Babby
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about pleather is it reflects light the same way as leather, for a fraction of the cost.
ReplyDeleteOoh! You are so lucky to go to Wayne"s workshop. Sounds fun.
