4 Simple Steps To Create an Effective Oil Painting Study by Nick Orban


1st Avenue, Downtown Seattle 
5 x 7 inch Oil Painting Study by Nick Orban



Step 1 

On a white gessoed 5x7 inch board,
I laid out the general shapes of the
buildings using a palette knife.


Step 2

I continued to develop the composition, keeping in mind the values and color
temperature of the buildings and street.

The paint was becoming quite thick at this point.



Step 3

After covering the entire board with paint, I worked on bending the color and values.  Then I added details by carefully placing highlights and shadows by using a brush and cleanly mixed paint.
