This is an oil sketch on vellum paper --- a technique I really enjoy. The paper's surface is slick and almost wax-like. I lay down color then wipe it off leaving a nice textured stain reminiscent of stone lithography. Great blends and soft edges can be achieved making it a great medium for a subject such as this. When the paint dries I sometimes add some pastel work. I've done several pieces on vellum but the disadvantage is that they have to be framed behind glass --- just like a watercolor. I really don't care for that so I don't do them for gallery sales. This piece measured 12" x 16", and has no title.
