This is an extremely tiny study I began work on last week. When I say tiny I mean tiny! It's about 3 x 4 inches. The support is gessoed matt board {board used to matt a frame}. I gessoed both sides at least twice with a toned gray gesso. Next I oiled out {see description from last post}, lay in the imprimatura {burnt sienna & ultramarine blue, or something to darken the sienna}, and wiped out/modeled with a paper towel. After that I lay in the red tone behind the small pitcher and added a little of the same color/tone in the foreground.
