Hammerhead Reef – Day 6

March 8th, 2009

Boy do yellow hues in oil paint take forever to dry or what? If you don’t know what I am talking about, most yellow oil paints take a very long time to dry. Having a half-dry subject on your canvas can be both a blessing and a pain. I often stabilize my hand on the canvas. Having wet oil paint may prove to be catastrophic if I was not paying close attention! I have added some detail to the painting and am getting pretty close to finishing the artwork. Enjoy!

    Christopher,

    I continue to veiw the Great Hammer Head. The transformation of the Hammer Head posted on your blog from the start to the 6th posting is absolutely beautiful. It is truely a great piece of art work. It
    is very, very, exciting to seeing the up dates of the painting. You said this was going to be one of your best paintings and you just weren’t kidding.

    Best regards,
    Mark Peter
