In the Wash

 

 

Here is a new painting called "In the Wash" 9"x12" oil.  I am still enjoying painting this subject matter.  I love painting the figure in motion, in a seascape for all the colors and action.  The subject lends itself to becoming a painting.  The abstract water is always a fun experiment and this time the experiment seems to have worked.  Let me know what you think.

First Video Demo

OK, I have been thinking about doing a video demo for a long time.  So I thought I would take a stab at it with a quick figure sketch in oil.  This is a sketch and so I am not taking it all the way to a completed painting but you can see the process I use for painting.  I start with a bit of a mapping of the canvas then bulk in middle tones, then darks, then lights.  Let me know what you think.  I hope to improve the process in both the photography and the editing and who knows maybe even the painting (smile).
