Pink rose with ant
The goal of the classical painting is not to depict objects
as close to nature as possible, but to compose a beautiful
composition of color, tone and texture. Spread linseed
oil on each well-dried previous layer immediately before
you begin the next layer. This leads to a better contact
of the paint of the dry layer with the paint of the next
layer. It also improves the process of dry brush blending.
Pencil Drawing
The main of the pencil drawing is to create a precise
structure of borders between areas of highlight and
light, light and halftone, halftone and shadow, and
reflections.
Ink Drawing
After you have made a pencil drawing on the canvass,
draw it out in ink. Imprimatura, the first oil layer,
will wash away the pencil, leaving the ink drawing as
the first layer of your painting. The ink drawing remains,
and the artist doesn't have to draw the composition
again
