"Street Reflections #1 and #2" Contemporary Landscape and Figurative Oil Paintings by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

12"x12" Oil on Paper "Street Reflections #1

 

These are the first of a series of four subtractive paintings.  The process

involved prepping a special paper with modeling paste and then painting

a layer of cadmium yellow deep and letting it dry.  A layer of

burnt umber was applied to cover completely and then wiped away

in some places revealing the gold color underneath.  The white lights and

green/red reflections were added last.
