I spent four hours this afternoon painting, finished the test portrait for Diana, and worked on two other paintings, a Celtic knotwork piece and a still life.

Samhain Candles – WIP3
11″x14″ oil paint on canvas board
4 sittings
I finally purchased some warm hue black (lamp black) and used it to darken the shading in the background. I did not make any other changes, but the previous WIP was overall a bit darker than the actual painting.
I am now happy with the background, and in the next sitting will move on to the still life objects.
