The Sea Coast Artist Guild met on Sunday April 11th, Our
guest demonstrator was Betsy McDonald.
Betsy
uses only three colors of Grumbacher's water soluble oil paints: cadmium
yellow light, alizarin crimson, and cobalt blue, plus white and black to create
her paintings. She does not use any thinner other than linseed
oil.
She
also paints incredibly fast. Above she is about one half hour into the
process.
Below shows one hour from the start .
Above: First Betsy scrubs in all of the
colors,
then ( below) she goes back and adjusts colors and
values.
Below,
Betsy has taken the piece as far as she can in one day (actually one and a half
hours).
She will let it dry overnight, then add highlights the next
morning.

see.
