CONTEMPORARY ROOSTER by OLGA WAGNER
I can't believe that it has been almost 2 months since I posted
anything. My painting in the past couple of months has been pretty
sparse...To be truthful it's been almost non-existent... I was offered
an awesome Software Development employment opportunity and have been
working really hard to get myself up to speed on the latest Data Center
Protocols, such as FCoE and LISP. Now that I have gained the necessary
confidence at work, I can get back to painting on a regular
basis...FINALLY!
This little rooster has been hanging around on my easel for a few weeks now. I started him about a month ago and was waiting for my painting MOJO to return to finish him...

COLORFUL ROOSTER by OLGA WAGNER
WOW...What a week! Last Tuesday, we had a lightning strike hit somewhere behind our house. It managed to come into our house via the gas line, which burst under the house. We ended up loosing cable, phones, garage door opener, router, printer...etc... Well.. A week later, and everything is back to normal...have a brand new gas line and all communication devices have all been replaced and reconnected!
This is a small colorful rooster that I worked on this morning...Had a some fun with the colors on this painting...

SUNFLOWER PAINTING by OLGA WAGNER
Last night I felt like experimenting with a different cropping. For some reason, as an artist, I tend to gravitate towards either the square or elongated formats. Unless it's a commissioned painting, I don't tend to use the more standard sizes in my paintings, such as 5x7, 8x10, 9x12...etc.. It's weird , I know...but I feel much more at home on a square or any combo of squares..Here we have sunflower bouquet cropped to fit on a 6x12... Pretty cool crop!

WOW...It has been a hot one...At 4 pm, my outdoor thermometer showed 107 deg. That is a bit too toasty for my liking...I decide to save these little daisies from the heat and bring them indoors...They seem much happier!

Bay Horse OIL PAINTING BY OLGA WAGNER
I found the reference photo for this painting on wetcanvas.com. It was one of those photos that I think was meant just for me. It spoke to my heart as soon as I saw it!... It reminds me so of my well-aged mare (Shelby)... She turned 28 this march and is living a happy retired life in Chapel Hill, NC. She has been part of my family for the last 21 years and truly deserves her happy "Sunset Years".
I took a slightly different approach with this painting. I used almost entirely 100% transparent colors on this beauty. On my palette, I had Indian Yellow, Trans.Orange, Trans. Red, Trans, Brown, Purple, Ultramarine and Magenta (love the magenta!) - an I used ALL of them for this painting.. I did a lot of wiping with q-tips/paper towels and also used the 'colour shaper' tool to scrape the paint and get the highlight effect! Love...Love...my Colour Shaper - it lets me create texture and definition in my paintings.

This is Shelby, when she was about 9 years of age. She is now 28 - and I really need to get some more recent shots of her...I am a bad mother!!

As, always...I start with the transparent orange to draw out the shape...I freehand it with a smaller brush and plenty of medium to make the paint flow.
Here I am starting to layout the colors. To build up the darks takes several layers of paint...Once all layers are done, the darkest darks will have a a bit of Trans. Brown, Purple, Magenta and Utramarine in it. The light areas are mainly indian yellow and trans. orange wiped off to make it brighter and also some areas have been scraped using the silicone tool.
This is a close-up of the face. You can see the scrape marks to give definition and texture. Also, you will see the only few areas that contain Opaque Paint. I used Ultramarine and white to add a small number of highlights...Only what you see here...

This is the Colour Shaper tool that I use. You can get these through JerrysArtarama or any other art supplier. Here is the description from Jerry's website: "Colour Shapers are a unique tool made from
silicone. The tip will not absorb any material, and so is great for
applying, removing, scraping and moving color. Used alone or together
with your existing tools, Colour Shapers will give you the opportunity
to develop new and exciting effects. Made by Royal Sovereign in England"
If you have never tried one - you must! It will open doors to new possibilities...I promise...

SUNFLOWER AND DAISY PAINTING by OLGA WAGNER
These flowers are from my back yard. We have a bunch of sunflowers this year - all due to us starting to use more birdseed containing black sunflowers seeds. Maybe next year I will try and plant them on purpose.

As always, we start with a sketch in a warm transparent color...I am using Transparent Orange.
Then we cover the canvas with pure transparent colors. It is very important to get the darks as dark as you want them to be, as they will be the base for laying in the lights on top of them.
Don't forget that if you want an area lighter you can always wipe it off with a paper towel or a q-tip. Notice his breast feathers and the area in front of him has been wiped to get the brightness effect.
Here is the view of my studio. YES, there is a very large cow in the making ..
