Still life with eggs

http://www.josvanriswick.com

Still life oil painting demo. The painting was created under fluorescent tubes, 3 of 5300K, on of 3500K. Combining the cool and warm lights give rise to nice colors in the white/grey objects. I used Old Holland paints and a medium consisting of 1 part Graham Walnut Alkyd medium and 3 parts linseed oil. Needs some final touches and will then publish on my site....

right around 0:08 the timing of you adjusting the egg on the right makes it look like you simply push it over.

@crabmble650 yes it looks funny. And really that is what is taking place, ony I'm pushing the paint. Before I started to paint I put some oil on the surface, so the paint slides over it easily....

Fabulous, please share the colours you are using for the eggs.

Thanks :o)

[josvanr]

@KittyTempleton hi, well titanium white, ultramarine blue dark and transparent oxide red to make basic greys, and then maybe some cadmium yellow dark in the light parts and dioxazine purple in cooler parts. But it's difficult to tell,I dont use fixed formulas. I just look and match the color I see....

[itricke]

your such a wonderful artist who are your inspirations?

[josvanr]

@itricke hi I like dutch painters Piet Sebens and Henk Helmantel, but also look a lot at Julian Merrow Smith, Jeremy Lipking...

Another wow! When I first looked at this I thought it was just a white bowl, with white eggs in it, and thought "How hard can that be?" There's an abundance of color in this painting. Bravo!

These vids are great Jos, the more we learn and the better we train our eyes, the more we see details we missed before in previous viewings, of the same video. Great exercise for attention and understanding your process :)
