Here's a new piece I've started with the 7 layer flemish technique for those interested in this classic style of painting!

Let me know what you think! This is a 400 year old technique that really works.

You can get more details on this technique on my site Easy Painting Techniques!

When I get the color layers going, I'll post them here too so you can follow this pieces progression.

Thanks for a great forum!

I have done the first layer of color on this. About 6 hours of work! and the drape, tea pot, and rose will need very little work to complete!

Here is a few close ups of the reference photo. All is needed are my water drops and a few highlights!

Check out my site for more information on how to use this technique!

Sorry it's taken awhile, been busy and had to dig up the pic files

Hope this is helpful to folks in understanding this really simple technique of oil painting!
