Yesteryear Uncovered - Oil Painting by Woody Hansen
Okay, so you ask what’s an oil painting doing on a watercolor blog? Well, last week while sifting through a ton of studio dust and clutter I came across this oil painting I did at the ripe old age of nineteen. Wow, how time flies (yeah, like you haven’t heard THAT before)!
I showed the painting to last week’s Wednesday watercolor classes as an example of a piece of my early work. Someone suggested I post it on the blog. So here it is. I hope it brings you some joy or amusement!
Other than those old Paint By Number kits from my early childhood, this is most likely my first, last, and only oil painting! I recall doing a free-hand (no projection) pencil layout on the canvas as a preparatory guide.
The oil is based on a popular advertisement of the time (probably out of This Week Magazine).
Can you guess the type and name of the product the ad is meant to promote?
