This Original Pelargonium flower - floral oil painting, was painted using the traditional Grisaille method of the Old Masters.Its based on a flowers growing in my own front yard. Close up of the Pelargonium Tirley Garth flower in my oil painting
The Old Masters style of Grisaille of a toned under-painting followed by applying many layers of Transparent Colour, finally gives a glow to the finished painting, that modern techniques cannot recreate. This technique is a very long and tedious process, it takes many hours to complete a finished oil painting. The Floral Oil Painting below, took me close to 40 hours of my time to complete.
