New Oil Painting

Here  is a new oil painting I am working on for an event next week at the Charlotte Country Club in North Carolina.

I have all the major shapes laid in at this stage, next I will begin to adjust the values, color temperatures and start getting the light to flow.

I am using the new Gamblin Fastmatte paints which dry overnight allowing me to layer the paint like I do with egg tempera. They dry a bit darker than when I first put them on, similar to acrylic paints and I have to compensate, but once I figured out what was happening- no problem. So far, I like them, and I won’t be bringing a wet painting to North Carolina with me next week.
