This was done early on at home from a project book, with the knife technique and brush for highlighting. Took just a few sittings.
I like the colours and the composition here, with the magnifying glass on top of the book. Kind of tells a story… and you can interpret it your own way to get messages like – Always examine the fine print(!), don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Or you could just imagine the reader on a lounge chair getting some sun after putting down the book on the floor beside him/her …. could be anything you please !
Size- 10*12.

Hi,
I stumbled upon your blog and really loved it! This particular painting with the book is neat! After framing it looks all the more good.
I browsed through your links and the one with tutorials has lots of info and demos of oil paint. I can sure use some of the tips in there.
Good Luck, Prerana
Thanks a bunch, Prerana. I’m so glad to have been of help. There’s such a wealth of info out there. Enjoy your journey too!
