Tag: 1853

It’s been a long and exciting journey with this painting. I learned a ton!

I’m so close to finishing this painting. I’m almost certain to finish it tomorrow.

Back to 1853 and I was able to finish his left arm and leg.

It’s time to let this painting dry for another week or so while I move on to the next.

I’m working on the arms and legs now, struggling to fix the bad values on my block-in.

I’m done with this layer on the shirt. Next session I move to his arms.

I was hoping to finish this painting without another drying time but the pattern on the shirt needs it.

I’m working my way across the shirt with a different set of brushwork than the body.

I moved back to this portrait to finish it while The Pear Tree dries.

I finished the background and it looks AMAZING!

Happy anniversary to me! 9 years straight and I’m going stronger than ever before.

The portrait is looking much better after some drawing corrections this morning.

I’m still working on the head because my AM art time as been cut a bit short. But my sleep is great!

I’m would love to have this painting done by the end of the month but I don’t think that is going to happen.

Only an hour of work today but I was able to get the right eye dialed in.

More distractions than I would like this morning but I was able to get a good hour in on this painting.

I’m very happy to say that this layer for this painting is done, now it dries for a week.

I wasn’t able to get into focus for my painting session today and it shows.

I killed it today with some super focus flow!

Happy New Year! I started it off great will lots of work on this painting.

I’ve got to get the drawing right on the shirt to capture his lean forward.

I’m taking the next couple days to work the drawing up with a bit more detail.

I moved my art time to earlier in the morning and it working out wonderfully.

I started painting purposely using very low chroma colors in preparation for many layers ahead.

I spent enough time today to refine the drawing and add a layer of clear medium.

It’s colder now so the painting is drying slowly and I need to put a new painting in the rotation.
