White Cabage Rose

8" x 10" Oil on Panel

I set this still life up in the Pumfrey's oil class at the Beach Art Center.  The past couple of weeks

I have been painting on canvas, but the texture of the canvas make the brush drag

and I don't get those loose impressionist strokes.  The gesso panels

are wonderful, they let you lay down one stroke and the brush hairs show.  I use

a soft synthetic flat brush.  The small detail is done with a small

round synthetic brush.
