I don’t think I’ve shown this painting–Sunday Parade<\/em>–before. According to my studio journal, today’s painting session is the fifth. It was too raw. Still is, really. The underpainting isn’t finished; but it’s far enough along that you can get a sense of where it’s going.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The unfinished ‘Sunday Parade’ on the easel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This design is put together from several photos of Manhattan. It’s not part of the new Playhouse Square series<\/a>. The two paintings underway (many, many planned) in that series are not far enough along to share. They’re big (both 4′ x 5′) and it’s still early–the drawings aren’t finished.<\/p>\n

The canvas’ gray ground can be seen throughout. The surface is an oil ground with neutral gray paint added to it. I applied the ground in this instance with a brush then lightly sanded it when it was good and dry.The ground is applied over 3 layers of acrylic gesso and 2 layers of GAC 100. I apply the acrylic gesso\\GAC layers on every canvas. I still toy with the ground that’s put over the gesso. I go back and forth between oil grounds applied with a brush or scraped on. Scraped-on grounds are smoother; brush-applied grounds are more absorbent.There is something to be said for both types.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I apply a layer of neutral-gray oil paint (not ground with its extra chalk) directly over the gesso. I am preparing a number of 40″ x 50″ canvases just now and I am going to scrape the grounds on them.<\/p>\n

I love my neutral-gray grounds but I’ve used other tones in the past. For along time I used warm grounds based on burnt sienna. These days, I love the warm gray, like I said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
