"Glass Float"
by Kimberly Bustillos on 11/18/2009 10:43:35 AM



As I filled my painting time up this morning with anything but what I was supposed to be painting I did this still life.  Its a Japanese glass float for fish nets.  I was experimenting with a new limited pallet set of Rublev oil colors.  Rublev uses only natural and historic pigments, and made only with oil, no modern additives or stearates.  They are formulated to maintain the individual characteristics of each pigment in oil.  

I'm working on getting tone and color relationships down.  The Rublev paints I used are perfect for this.  For this still life I used Lemon Ochre, Verona Green Earth, Pozzuoli Red, Cyprus Raw Umber and Lead White.  And I have to say I am really happy with the results!

Thanks Karen! I love those floats, and painting glass : ) This was my first tonal painting with the Rublev oils. I think its the simplicity of it that makes it so nice.
