On the evening of Tuesday, the 23rd of October, 2012, I did a bit more work on two oil paintings.

Mermaid Drowning Cover – WIP 912″x16″ oil paint on Gessobord

For this layer I added more detail to the clouds, and the surf. I also removed the masking tape. I think I may have put too much yellow into the sea foam, so I’ll likely be adding just a bit more paint there on the next sitting. Otherwise, it’s just the female figure.

Project: Mermaid Drowning Cover

I painted the shadow areas of the objects with an opaque black paint, and added lighting detail. There is also another layer of paint on the top of the candle and the flame, and some slight highlighting on the pumpkins.
