Reading by a Windowed Door – Art print of an oil painting. I was thinking about a longer, step by step walkthrough of my portrait oil painting approach. It just so happened that this study of a woman holding a book really aligned with my typical process. Sometimes I bounce around randomly, but this was really in line with the sort of example I hoped to use. The painting itself was about 3 hours alla prima, and turned out well I think.
Additional Details: Original oil painting by Jon Amdall using alla prima direct painting technique, Utrecht brushes, Gamblin and Utrecht paints, and Strathmore paper. Art prints are from FinerWorks on their Premium Giclee thick (21-mil) heavy weight (310g) paper. Scans of originals are 720 DPI, 48 bit color, to capture the smallest details and textures. For artwork with multiple size options, the first listed is always the original dimensions, with similar orientations in larger sizes following. For example, for paintings that were originally square, I’ll offer a few square size options, then some cropped vertical or horizontal choices. See image gallery photos for examples of each orientation.
