This is our setup, That's Tom under the shade of the ladder, he later changed to using an umbrella. That's my new silver opaque umbrella.
After this photo I set up my computer and video equipment to make a copal and linseed oil DVD.

Red Antheriums, 15x22, Garrette Copal Medium. I never liked the brands of copal I tried until I tried Ron Garrett's [ron@garrettcopal.com]; there wasn't enough control. His brand painted beautifully. www.garrettcopal.com We started about 9:00 AM this morning. Tom drew his in with a pencil.
 |
I drew with the brush and copal.
First in monotone using Thalo blue PR15.3. I thought it would be a rainy day painting and I could use the cyan hue.
 |
| Day 1, Three hours of painting.
 |
Day 1, Four hours of painting.
 |
| This is what it looked like after day 3.
 |
By day 4 the painting had shifted cooler.

Tom is finished also.
He really liked the copal medium. He said that he noticed he could get longer strokes with copal. Tomorrow we will be painting with some Maroger medium I made last month. Instead of removing or working into a lower layer as with copal or damar, we will be painting over a layer that will not redisolve. |
It rained so hard outside for the last painting we decided to paint this one on the porch. One of the disadvantages of Maroger medium is you can't use any of yesterdays mixed paint as you can with copal medium.
 |
By the second day I had almost 100% coverage. I decided to do verticals of the railing after the background was dry.
That's one of the advantages of Maroger medium. Both media dry shiny.  |
