Boy with bike oil painting
Oil on canvas. Much of this was painted by taking the paint back off to expose the canvas underneath – rather like using an eraser on a charcoal drawing. I like the soft effect that this creates, consistent with an old faded photograph, or a fading memory.
OH MY GRACIOUS!! Like an old sepia photos!! AWESOME job — the shadings on that bike are stunning!!! GLORIOUS work!!!!!!
Thank you, Lin!
What an interesting technique. Can’t wait to try it.

I like both your drawing and painting Carole. And I love your technique, especially allowing the lower part of the bicycle to “disappear” into the dark and the boy standing out in more light…his head and face sharper. great work! What did your client say, he/she must’ve been very happy?
