Description

I'm testing out oil glazes and seeing what happens when I try different things. Still lifes with human bones were prominently displayed in the time of Rembrandt as a show of piety and of acknowledgment of the transitory quality of life. :skull:

I started with an underdrawing with vine charcoal and fixed it with Kamar Varnish. I then glazed the hell out of it with layers of cobalt yellow, raw sienna, Prussian blue, and cobalt violet.
