First Oil Painting

Posted on Updated on

In progress working on my first oil painting. The picture is of my girlfriend when we were at my favorite coffee shop.

Eventually, the painting will be in color, based on this photograph. I began in black and white to get the values right.

Black and white reference photo I’m using for the underpainting.

I know it’s not quite right! Her face isn’t nearly as lovely as it is in real life, but hey…it’s my first oil painting! Besides its still a work in progress.

Background. The coffee cup turned out nicely.

This is it so far. I’ll update this post as I make more progress.
