I'm really excited about this new oil study on paper tonight. I looked around my drawers of oil paints and found my Raw Umber paint tube of color. I've had it with me for about 20 years now. It's a 150 ml tube and half way through. It's a great brown for the initial wash and preliminary drawing. I like the look of it already and can imagine so interesting color mixes using it. For this painting im aiming to have a more subdue background and foreground. I can image a quiet image a little bit like the still-life of the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi. I was privileged to see his work in Bologna, Italy a few years ago. His works are immensely beautiful, easy on the eye and the objects are central focus.
