Oil Painting Technique, Two Painting Demos of kitchen art using flemish technique, "onions".

Here are two demonstrations back to back of some kitchen art using a very old technique of oil painting. These "Onions" and "Onions Too" were completed on 9" x 12" canvas. Using a layered approach, each layer performs a specific function for the painting that is finally revealed in the finished work. For a more detailed demonstration, visit the site, click the "whats on my easel" section to see other demonstrations including this one with explanations for each step!

i LOVE THIS VIDEO!! There is so much info here. Thank you very much. Have you got a video involving color mixing and graying down. I hate the garish colors most artists use today. By the way, I love your music choices as well. Could you site the musicians as well. The guitarist is wonderful! Thx.

@dollorina Hi dollorina, the music is from musopen.com and is of a spanish classical guitarist. The credit isn't showing at the end of the video, must have been cut off. Just check their site under classical guitar and it is easy to find. check my site for other vid's

thanks for the comments, best wishes.

can you help me, what is the advantage by using the flemish technique...comparing to, UNDERPAINTING technique that i am used to??

Good Job..!!

@nickfingers The underpainting is a good start, the flemish, I believe utilized the underpainting to it's fullest capabilities. By breaking the painting process down into very understandable steps, the artist can concentrate better on each task. The combined layers with the toned canvas, the umber underpainting and the gray underpainting, crystallize the work. The addition of the color layers and finishing layer creates the stain glass translucent effect that only can be achieved this way.
