In the studio, diffuse northern lights fall on the composition resulting in soft, but especially constant tone values and shadows. |

 |
A simple line sketch is drawn on the primed panel. The priming coat is kept as clean as possible because it plays a role in the different development phases of the painting. | ||||||||||||||
 |
First of all the different shapes get their basic colour in diluted oil paint. Not too much attention is paid to details at this stage. | ||||||||||||||
 |
Then the different tones and details on the painting are worked out more powerfully wet on wet. Here and there colours are accentuated to reinforce the colouring of the grapes. At this stage the oil paint is diluted with turpentine, stand oil and resin. . | ||||||||||||||
 |
To temper any hard transitions, it is covered with glaze. Glaze is a mixture of transparent oil paint, turpentine, stand oil and resin (slightly more greasy than in the previous phase). This method of working provides the painting with extra depth. Click here to view the finished painting. |
