#102 -- A Good Read

Something a bit different today.  I happened upon a few sites that I haven't hit in ages (links below) looking at some of their demos. It got me thinking that I haven't really discussed my process at all on this blog....


So I thought I'd put together a little demo today. I'm no teacher mind you, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway. So here goes nothing...


My initial reference -- Boy making a mess





Step 1 -- A quick sketch in unthinned Burnt Sienna with a dry brush. About 10-20 min max.



Step 2 -- A quick block in of the fleshtones, getting the color to work is really my only concern here.



Step 3 -- Continuing to block in the hair...still keeping it simple. I also softened and added a more finished feel to the flesh tones.



Step 4 -- Finally on to the clothes. Again keeping it really quick and simple...





Step 5 -- The finish...on to the background and fine tuning the little details. I used alot of the background color into the hair and dark areas of the clothes to pull things together a bit more. This helps to create an overall feeling of light in the piece too. Once everything was covered, I went back in and focused on creating some variety in the edges especially with the hair and clothes. Here's the finished piece at actual size.


My palette for this painting was pretty limited but included : Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Light, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red Light, Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cerulean Blue Hue and finally Ivory Black. I'll probably take the demo down in a few days, but I hope those of you that see this will enjoy it. If I've left anything out, or you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line. Don't for get to check out the amazing artist's I've linked to below! As always thanks for looking.

Happy Holidays!!
