This is my second most recent commish, a pet portrait. The final piece is 8" x 10," acrylic on canvas.






Will try to post most recent work tomorrow. Yay!

Process of a painting

This is an abbreviated version of my painting process. Lately I've been starting with a digital sketch (upper right). Then I make a hand-drawn line sketch (upper left). Next I blow it up to size (bottom).


Then I paint. I try to start with the back, because you can tell when someone paints the background around the subject. It's not as visually pleasing.




And finito!

Holiday Bazaar Special (Ed)

So, I put a LOT of stuff in this year's Holiday Bazaar. Some of it was past work that I revamped, like the piece below, and some I've done within the last two weeks.

IPC piece. Acrylic, ready-made DollarTree doll, rhinestones, and dirt on canvas.


New. Real leaves and acrylic paint coated with acrylic matte medium on panel.


New. Markers, colored pencil, watercolor on panel.


A new copy of an old painting I did in high school. Acrylic on panel.


Old, Painting I. Oil on canvas, about 3' x 4', too.


New abstract. Acrylic on panel.

BELOW:
New. These next four photos are shots of a wooden container purchased from Hobby Lobby. It's painted with acrylic, and the "water drops" were created with good, ol' hot glue. On the inside are rhinestones, glitter, and floral stones.





And the drawing I posted last week transformed into this painting. Acrylic on panel. I must say I won't be too sad if it doesn't sell. I love the thing.
