This is second long-term painting I'm working on at the same time I'm finishing my "Kiwi". This will be a combination of Tempera/Oil as well, but simplified to value-scale underpainting in tempera over-painted with color in oils. I wanted to do nice painting of white gardenias for some time, but couldn't find one I would want to paint... till the end of this summer, when it happened during one of our visits to Longwood Gardens.
This also would be a first time when I'm working on so called "True Gesso" hand-made panels involving some rabbit glue and marble dust... wonderful panels for tempera work. This is a best support by far, what I tried and I love to work on it... makes all the difference in the world!..

I was just looking at this on facebook. So happy you are sharing another work in progress.
Thank You, Mary Beth! I hope it will turn into another show-piece... but it is too early to think about it. However, I totally love the panel. It makes my work easier.
Great start Tatiana. Did you make your panels and gesso?
Tatiana, I am also working on an oil on the same type panel. I did a demo in Waynesborough and met a gentleman that makes them. Love the support. Your gardenias look fabulous!
Thank You, Debra! I could make my own panels, but I do not have a time now. So this one is one I bough. Not that expensive compare to many other boards, even it is hand-made.
Thank You, Charlotte!
I'm not ready for oil part just yet, but can only imagine - it will be great for oil too. I'm happy to know you are enjoying yours!
