Mary Ng (Day 3)

I will be working on an oil painting. A wide range of my paintings will be on exhibit in our lounge upstairs and in my studio, ranging from landscape paintings to abstract paintings in oil and acrylic. All paintings will be for sale. Snacks and water will be available.

Sobre el Proceso

Ideas for a painting may come from a dream, an image, or a reference photo. What the image is determines the medium -- whether it is a drawing, or a painting done in oil or acrylic or work done in some other medium. I start a painting by blocking out color zones or I may do a light sketch. if a large painting, I will work one quarter at a time and then do an over-all to even out tones. I am not consistent: I will mix colors carefully on a glass palate, mix directly on the canvas, or mix one or two colors on a small recycled plastic lid. I seem to finish three paintings of a particular subject and then move on to something new. Most recently, I've been doing small paintings of wild horses on multi-colored landscapes. I have also done monsoon clouds over our Tucson Mountains and people. My abstract paintings are plays on shapes and colors. Come and visit!
