    Joey : Cat Portrait Complete

    March
    21
    2006

    Joey’s portrait is complete! It will take a few days for the painting to dry before I varnish and scan the details for you to see in a finished state. It’s a little bitty 4×4 painting, as you might be able to tell from the quarter sitting beside it.

    Wedding Portrait : WIP #3

    March

    2006

    This is the completed underpainting, and it’s going to take nearly a week to dry with all of the pure indigo I used in his suit. I’ll be working on other projects until I can get back to this one and work on the next layer.

    (Colors vary from previous WIP shots because I ran out of daylight.)

    The Flesh

    What colors did you think you’d see on my palette? I’m curious.

    Wedding Portrait : WIP #2

    March
    19
    2006

    I’ve got the skintone all blocked in, now the challenge will be to make them look like them, and not just people. Right now they have general shapes and color, and after I complete the underpainting (clothing included) and go back to detail the painting, their personalities will start to emerge.

    Wedding Portrait : WIP #1

    March

    2006

    You can see the photograph of the bride & groom that I’m working from. I’ve just worked in the background, and started underpainting the whites in the couples clothing. I’ll be working on the skintones for a while, getting a very rough layer of values for their skin and clothing. The background though, is finished for the most part. I modified the horizon line from the photograph, and matched the colors of the sunset really well. It does give a nice ambience to their portrait already, and I’m happy with how it turned out.

    Wedding Portrait : The Sketch

    This is another sketch, it’s a 12″ x 16″ wedding portrait I’ll be painting (in oils).

    I’ve got a few irons in the fire right now so if posting is sparse you know why.

    Littles : Cat Portrait WIP #1

    March
    14
    2006

    Here’s another underpainting, this is Littles, an 8″ x 8″ oil portrait. Both Joey & Littles will take a day or two to dry before I can work their next layer(s).

    Joey : Cat Portrait WIP #1

    March
    14
    2006

    Joey and Littles are two cat portraits that I’m working on in oils. This is the underpainting of Joey’s portrait. Joey’s painting is small (4″ x 4″), so it will probably only need one more layer of fur and enhancements before he’s finished.

    New Cat Portraits!

    2006

    Littles (the larger 8×8 canvas) and Joey (the small 4×4) are two kitties I’ll be painting (in oils) over the next week or so. I’ve got them sketched onto the canvas and will start working on their underpaintings tomorrow.
