I seem to be averaging a chess piece a day. Glazing is never a quick process but I love how the shape and form develop as you add each subsequent layer. As you can see below, I'm working on the gold pieces at the moment. I felt gold and pewter/silver pieces would add more atmosphere than traditional black and white would have done.
I'm enjoying creating the strong lighting. I still need to add a couple more layers to get the depth and colour of each shadow on the floor but will work develop these further while I am working on the other pieces.
I'm still thinking of a suitable title for this painting. Any ideas?

This is coming along beautifully, Ona...such a treat to watch your painting progress. Titling this piece will be tricky.

Hi Carol, Yes naming any painting can be tricky. At the moment I quite like 'baby on board' but I'm open to all ideas:)
ReplyDeleteThose chess pieces just glow and shine in the light.... truly magical!
