Small leaf study, 15 x 15 cm, oil on canvas board, ©2011 Julie Galante. [SOLD]
This one is more about the paint than the leaf. Sometimes I felt like I was spreading frosting rather than painting. Most of the paint was applied by palette knife, although at times I pushed the paint around with a brush, as well. It was fun.
November is Art Every Day Month! I’ll be posting a new small painting here each and every day.
Really nice, love all the texture oil applied with a knife brings, thanks for sharing Jennibellie x
It is easy to see why you had so much fun…so vibrant and full of colour!

This is beautiful…love the texture and color! Fall FAB!
This is definitely a fun and brilliant painting 🙂 I love it !!!!
Visiting because of AEDM. I love the texture of the paint – the colors are also wonderful!
I love all the texture in this one, and what colours! I keep wanting to try out oils myself but really can’t be bothered with all the hassle that comes with them. That leaves me with a chance to admire the stuff people make who aren’t babies about it like me. 🙂
Ohhh the texture! I just want to reach out and touch it. 🙂
Love the colours and textures. Oils are something I’ve not plucked up the courage to try (yet)
Thank you all so much for your kind comments! I love all the feedback I get during AEDM. I am so appreciative.
@B (and @Nigel) – You might want to consider giving water-soluble oils a try. They are pretty much as easy as acrylics (no turps required), but a great way to play around with the buttery texture of oils.
The texture on this is wonderful… makes me want to touch it…. great piece xx
That looks fun!
@Tracey – Better not, this one’s going to take ages to dry. 🙂
