Marble

For our next scene painting project, we did a marble sample.

We were given this research by David:

This first step was to do a wash of the light base colour. I then splattered it with a slightly darker green, and sponged and cross hatched the same darker green and burnt sienna in places according to the research.

I then painted the veins on using a feather and a mixture of paint and glaze.

I then sponged on grey in areas that needed it and splattered on a darker green.

I sponged on more burnt sienna and some of a lighter green colour to add more tone and variation.

I am really happy with this piece and I feel like reflects the research well.
