Studio note from today: I mixed my own white oil paint and recorded the feel of the grind—the sheen, the weight, the stickiness. Below are close-ups and a work-in-progress.



Today is fun day! I made white oil color (Titanium white + egg + linseed oil) with glass grinder . Use egg for oil colors is very classic recipe ever since Rembrandt. I love work with glass grinder. Oil color with egg makes nice mass thick texture just like picture.
今日は楽しい絵の具練り作業♪ 厚みを出す為のチタン白+全卵+リンシードオイルというクラシックなレシピの練り(クラシックなのはチタンではなく鉛白だけどチタン白に変更)。両手でしっかりガラス棒を持ちゆっくりと一定の力を加えて練っていくのは至福の刻。少量なのに長時間ずっとやってしまう(笑)
