Returning to the painting after a long interval was interesting. Many of the choices I'd made previously, and thought were good, now bugged the crap out me. No really drastic changes took place on this last round of work, however. I continued to bring up the values of the tubes in the foreground using a pale body color on the near tubes. Almost pure white. I killed the background's high contrasts, panel top and bottom. Those bands were way too distracting. And I tried to consolidate the masses of the tubes and tabletop beneath them. Overall, I shifted the painting's hues farther away from brown. The scanner is acting up, but I'll upload some detail images later, captured by camera.</span></div><div><br /></div></div>Dennis Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11855200256314122421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35149789.post-21785295293458996882009-03-12T22:45:00.003-05:002009-03-12T23:17:37.337-05:00Olsen's Palette (work in progress, 11)<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4XRrlShk4H2Zv-EF5uxdjBUr0p2-iBpBzQu_JXPfI-H96wNEpm8bT0T8oy7BJo9NHoHDO8r7V0Sva8l8hLITAiEnrxLfTBobNs5a7PwaOwocn4tfFdAoXtFvCxwS3KWvD85RcOw/s1600-h/palette+11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4XRrlShk4H2Zv-EF5uxdjBUr0p2-iBpBzQu_JXPfI-H96wNEpm8bT0T8oy7BJo9NHoHDO8r7V0Sva8l8hLITAiEnrxLfTBobNs5a7PwaOwocn4tfFdAoXtFvCxwS3KWvD85RcOw/s400/palette+11.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312513947039086770" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">11.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Hmmm.

"You know, bad ideas are like bad songs - they pop into your head and you can't get them out."<br /><br /><strong>'High Fauxdelity' by Dennis Harper and '12-Inch Love Songs' by Jeffrey Whittle</strong><br />Paintings inspired by album art<br />When: Through Nov. 30; reception 6-8 p.m. today<br />Where: Flicker Theatre and Bar, 263 W.

The show will be open to the public after happy hour Tuesday, November 6, with a reception Thursday, November 15. Come on by sometime that evening.<br /><br />I don't have any of Whittle's pictures to post, but here are four more of my fake album covers included in the exhibition.

As a couple of months have passed since last working on it, I felt I needed to prep the surface to receive new paint. To do that, I first brushed the painting lightly to remove any dust (or, as necessary in my house, dog hairs), then painted a couple of layers of dilute unpigmented egg wash across the whole panel. This seems to help new layers of paint take more readily to the already curing paint film. Yolk to water proportion is probably about 1:5, or slightly thinner. The painting still doesn't have the kind of resolution of forms nor the color/value contrasts that I'm looking for in the finished work, so I've started to strengthen all the shadows and edges; first with a greenish-umber pigment, then ivory black. I think I'll likely do something as well to the negative space below and beyond the table to place the palette and table more firmly in space, and in the context of Olsen's studio. Probably, I'll show a glimpse of one of his paintings in the background.<br /></div></div>Dennis Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11855200256314122421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35149789.post-6710500691662487412007-02-10T19:58:00.000-05:002007-02-11T13:50:45.103-05:00Olsen's Palette (work in progress, 9)<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIFAzciAvrNRN3fZpQRk6AhswcWoRI2f6nztANlfV4XLCP7gDWNhJsGFNc8FaxSLVh44AexIFoV2-i4MaD0byr8PMoE4ttr3oOtEmMuy4kFhwqFQTPMRueW7vnmXKzfHOg_WU2A/s1600-h/palette+09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIFAzciAvrNRN3fZpQRk6AhswcWoRI2f6nztANlfV4XLCP7gDWNhJsGFNc8FaxSLVh44AexIFoV2-i4MaD0byr8PMoE4ttr3oOtEmMuy4kFhwqFQTPMRueW7vnmXKzfHOg_WU2A/s400/palette+09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5030074944507959826" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">9<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">I will have to delay my work on the painting for a short while. I want to use the panel-- in its present, unfinished state -- in an exhibition (and tempera painting demonstration) at Gainesville State College, Georgia. This current photo reflects continued progress to refine the local colors of the tubes and other objects as they gradually evolve from the monochrome underpainting that defined basic volumes and space. When I resume work on the panel, I'll articulate further distinctions of the objects in the pile, and move from washes and glazes into more linear brushwork and hatching.<br />See you in about a month...<br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div></div>Dennis Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11855200256314122421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35149789.post-38613400880815188032007-02-06T22:38:00.000-05:002007-02-06T22:47:30.288-05:00Olsen's Palette (work in progress, 8)<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZEnQ8caCo5DY24uyaFXtShBdxru5ZNNtuj2iVI7QSMU2S-QQfDUYw8g9unn_dJWAdwUPaNas1bNyHLMfJuadYkFf0o-atc1nirSrmQPvdFWLMoARSnOHiJJ5Ny_NRixq3ZDlDSA/s1600-h/palette+08.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZEnQ8caCo5DY24uyaFXtShBdxru5ZNNtuj2iVI7QSMU2S-QQfDUYw8g9unn_dJWAdwUPaNas1bNyHLMfJuadYkFf0o-atc1nirSrmQPvdFWLMoARSnOHiJJ5Ny_NRixq3ZDlDSA/s400/palette+08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028631818196089778" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">8<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Unfortunately, not a lot of time to paint today, but I decided to use my limited time in the studio to begin giving the tubes their "indigenous" colors.

First, however, I sized the casein work with a couple of layers of dilute egg yolk wash, unpigmented. Next, I laid down a loose glaze of raw sienna (a golden brown variety). I then modeled some of the middle values in darker but still transparent raw sienna and verdaccio giallo. Finally, I reinforced the lighter values with buff titanium (a light tan-hued white pigment.) I'll bring up the lights a little more strongly and start applying washes of grays, blues, and greens over the composition. I'll push toward more natural colors yet try to keep the treatment a little soft-edged, brushy, and transparent at this early stage.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div></div>Dennis Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11855200256314122421noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35149789.post-77532590211026155522007-02-03T13:31:00.000-05:002007-02-03T13:35:51.914-05:00Olsen's Palette (work in progress, 4)<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSb2xuf__q2q1gjmMgQ0w6PRdBS97dXjj0_Md0YJ9-8FMDRlHBevmV4KLz-Mxz4NioI5LyFrK8wP5q_Z3KLGu_5WlzZ4HkOp-CmGkPtP4anZ6Zo4-m2EQAwMSs9xEZScHLQuuSUA/s1600-h/palette+04.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSb2xuf__q2q1gjmMgQ0w6PRdBS97dXjj0_Md0YJ9-8FMDRlHBevmV4KLz-Mxz4NioI5LyFrK8wP5q_Z3KLGu_5WlzZ4HkOp-CmGkPtP4anZ6Zo4-m2EQAwMSs9xEZScHLQuuSUA/s400/palette+04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027377932558793506" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: georgia;">4<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span>The painting after more modeling in Venetian red, ivory black, and titanium white washes.<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></div></div>Dennis Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11855200256314122421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35149789.post-2217175572759074062007-02-01T21:49:00.000-05:002007-02-01T22:19:02.663-05:00Olsen's Palette (work in progress, 3)<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnCB9pFY4mElAmyo2QOilyONKkyzH5sNsSDwRTP_kFoneD0f599_Z_douymJkLXNC5nwGlpbcRUpmrRpliZrjjEXatNVShkkZy6NDsqjnezleIj76ySNmKui8Xwoy-fPgQjZs-ow/s1600-h/palette+03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnCB9pFY4mElAmyo2QOilyONKkyzH5sNsSDwRTP_kFoneD0f599_Z_douymJkLXNC5nwGlpbcRUpmrRpliZrjjEXatNVShkkZy6NDsqjnezleIj76ySNmKui8Xwoy-fPgQjZs-ow/s400/palette+03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5026763666336119522" border="0" /></a>3<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">I'm starting to shape the tubes of paint in the picture with reinforcing washes of ivory black and Venetian red, still in casein.

My panel is a commercially prepared support, rabbitskin-glue gesso on Duron Masonite. It was made by an Athens, GA based company, Realgesso, and given to me by them to try out. (Thanks, Howard!) It's a small one, 8 x 10 inches. This first photo shows the initial processes in my painting technique. The faint red outlines are red chalk transfers from my drawing study.

I came back to the panel today after a short respite. I worked to clean up the edges of shapes, and intersections, and tried to bring more fleshy warm tones to his head (while still keeping it bathed in shadow.) I softened a few of the shadows across his face and made minor adjustments to his features. It's a near likeness, but not <span style="font-style: italic;">exactly </span>right. These photos, again, don't accurately reproduce the color range in the painting. The darks in the face should be slightly more reddish-orange; conversely, the white background should be less red. The pale green earth/verdaccio glazes fade away in the scan.<br />The detail below shows the brushwork better. For a sense of scale, the head is about 2-1/2 inches from top of hair to bottom of chin.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yJJ0S7ZppHhqzAVsFzlxbPKH9BgqaSc6TPcZnQXoot9b_d7zFwvbICILA619WE5TkOrM3U52nGv8qMpKEwCfLX92-pwKAHGYRjUTMEuCcLW-9zDoHIK3zOsHFJENHDkXibLb0w/s1600-h/Ole+small+detail+05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yJJ0S7ZppHhqzAVsFzlxbPKH9BgqaSc6TPcZnQXoot9b_d7zFwvbICILA619WE5TkOrM3U52nGv8qMpKEwCfLX92-pwKAHGYRjUTMEuCcLW-9zDoHIK3zOsHFJENHDkXibLb0w/s400/Ole+small+detail+05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027515083749456706" border="0" /></a></div></div>Dennis Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11855200256314122421noreply@blogger.com1
