Still life oil painting by Steve Driver

Fruit Cocktail

Another still life with fruit.

Oil on canvas board 30 x 24 cms.

I started this one with the idea of holding back on the detail and concentrating on colour.

I think it worked quite well, its very bright and lively.

Compositionally it doesn’t follow traditional rules and it’s a bit “all over the place” but I think it adds to the message of the painting.

Palette for this was: Titanium white, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue, Lemon yellow, Cadmium yellow, Bright Red, Alizarin Crimson, Light Green, and Yellow Ochre

Seascape oil painting by Steve Driver

Midnight Ocean

Yes, I know it’s been a long time since I did a seascape!

I still love doing them but it takes a lot of work to do a successful one.

This one turned out alright but I’m definitely out of practise.

Its on 20 x 16 inch canvas board and is quite loosely painted to try and capture the motion of the sea.

 

The hard part is knowing when to stop and not get involved with too much detail.

The blues I used for this are Cerulean and Phthalo with a bit of turquoise thrown in.

My latest oil painting is another marbles composition. I really like doing these! I think there will be some more coming soon.

This one is a lot smaller than the previous giant marbles canvas and measures up at a manageable 40 x 30 cms. It’s on canvas board and would suit a either nice metal or dark frame.

Oil painting of a stratocaster guitar by Steve Driver

Stratocaster Guitar

Oil painting of my very own Stratocaster guitar.

I decided to do this on two canvases rather than one long one to create an unusual effect.

The painting is best hung unframed with a slight gap between the two canvases. The sides have been painted to fit in with the rest of the painting.

It could be hung horizontally or vertically, whichever is preferred.

This has taken me quite a long time to do – about 3 months in total. (Most other paintings average about 2 weeks)

I used a slightly different palette than normal: Titanuim White, Cad Yellow Pale, Yellow Ochre, Indian Yellow, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue and Indigo

Oil painting of an orange by Steve Driver

Still Life Orange

I recently finished this still life oil painting of an orange.

It’s touch dry but still needs a few more weeks to thoroughly dry out before it can receive its final varnish.

I wanted to get translucency of the light through the orange and love the way the the colour passes from yellow to orange then red.

It’s painted on a 16 x 12 inch canvas sheet and requires mounting and framing.
