This work is referenced to an old painting dated back to the early years of the 19th century. The scene\u00a0is for an entrance of a Mosque in the Old Cairo, Egypt. I did carry it out using oil on canvas. The size of the paint is 60 x 90 cm.<\/p>\n<p>In this work, I was influenced by the technique of painting put forward by the Artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.markcarder.com\/\">Mark Carder<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drawmixpaint.com\/\">www.drawmixpaint.com<\/a>) I have started by drawing the subject using a color pencil on a brownish stained canvas. For staining the canvas I have used burnt umber and white (1:3 ratio approximately) thinned using normal turpentine. In preparing colors, I did consider the three primary colors only (yellow, blue, and red) in addition to white and burnt umber.<\/p>\n<p>I have completed the whole work in around 16 hours net. In painting, I was keen not to blend different shades as much as possible, in order to avoid muddying colors to reflect a bright painting. To me \u201cMark Carder\u201d technique is very promising, and it did help me a lot especially in the process of preparing colors, cleaning brushes, and setting up the studio. All were helpful and made the painting process a pleasant endeavour.<\/p>\n<p>Mokhtar Ibrahim<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Mokhtar-Ibrahim.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Mokhtar-Ibrahim.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"655\" height=\"985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Mokhtar-Ibrahim.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Mokhtar-Ibrahim-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Mokhtar-Ibrahim-300x451.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Mokhtar Ibrahim and I\u00a0am studying with Alan Dedman on both the Oil Painting Course and the Drawing and Painting Diploma.
