Currently working in oil on a birch panels. This one is larger, 4 by 4 ft.
I started with an underpaint of yellow. Painted the sky starburst on day 1, on day 2 played with the clouds. Jan 13, added the beach and horses. Mostly working with a palette knife.
Now I have the basic shapes and thoughts - time to fix things and see what else it needs.
Jan 14th I worked on the clouds and horizon line. Small touchups to horses. I did not like the clouds, so brought the image into Gimp 2.0 (great free photoediting software) and played with the airbrush. I like the composition it created, will be trying to replicate with oil next session.
The gimp changes were moved on to the picture. Final step is to paint the sides, to give the gallery wrapped feeling. Three weeks, and it will be ready to move. To where is of course the questions!
And installed on the wall. Odd how the colours match the room :)
Horses in the Badlands - continuing the theme.. oil on board. 16 by 20 And finally, in acrylic, the Unicorn, 8 by 8.
