Oil on stretched linen, approximately 20cm x 20cm. This is the first time I've ever painted on linen, and I'm finding it to be a fantastic support. Rabbitskin glue was used to primed the linen. No ground was put down as I want to try and utilise the colour of the linen as part of the tonal process. Also I kind of like a bit of the canvas texture showing through in parts. Painted from life, I'm pretty happy with how the metallic effect of the gold box is coming along.
