Figure Study in Oil Demo

This painting was done on a piece of 8 x 10 MDF board with a limited palette of titanium white, yellow ochre, burnt umber, and french ultramrine blue. It was done in 4 sessions with a couple of days in between for each layer to dry enough for the next layer.

The painting started with an initial sketch using burnt umber thinned with turpenoid.

Did some corrections and adjustments and started the form modeling.

Almost completed the form modeling.

Scrumbled yellow ochre over the figure, then painted the background and foreground. Please ignore the strong yellowish tone, it was from taking the picture under regular yellowish room lighting.

Make some final adjustments and this is the final result.
