This is Lucy, a custom cat portrait I’ll be working on over the next week or so. She’ll be done on a 10×10 gallerywrap canvas in oil, and as you can see from my reference photo she is an absolutely stunning Tortie kitty. Her mom picked out the most beautiful shade of green (matching her eyes) for her background color, and that will be the first work in progress shot you’ll be seeing of her.
I’ve been painting today, since the darn rain hasn’t let us do anything else. Ah I’m really not complaining about the rain, we really needed it, although better timing would have been just swell!
Here you go, finally, another work in progress on this piece. I do have a title in mind but it involves counting really high, and I don’t have that many fingers & toes. Since I’m still debating, I’ll leave my entries titled “New”.
This piece is still very much in its beginning stages, and just in case you can’t tell, this will be an orange daisy covered in water droplets.
I’ve got a few projects to work on this week, so I’m looking forward to a studio filled with creativity!
This piece is going to take some time to complete, and that’s okay, ’cause I really want it to be awesome. I’d like for it to be as hyperrealistic as I can possibly make it, just to push myself a little harder like I do with every piece, but I think even moreso with this one. I’ve been wanting a challenge like this one since I finished Antoinette, and every day I look at Homecoming I’m reminded of where I want to go with my paintings. I am also much more aware that the more patient I am with myself and my oils, the better the results.
This is the piece I’ve been hiding for a week or so now, it’s 18×18, nice & big. I took the reference photo for this painting last summer, and may even have shown it to you here. It’s been hollering at me in my filing cabinet though, and since I have some time now I’d better get it done!
The sketch is kinda scary huh? I’m being deliberately vague about what it is. If you can’t see it already, you will. Me, I can see it, and I can see the sketch underneath too. 😛
I’ve got a few things left to do, so I’ll finish up tomorrow on this piece. I did get a lot done on Ella this afternoon though!
Here’s the current status on this portrait, I will probably look back & forth between works in progress more than any of you guys, I already see a couple of minor little things about John that I’d like to enhance a little more (particularly the shadows around his face into his hairline). I’ll be working on Ella through the evening and may not finish until tomorrow now. I’ll update with another progress shot later on tonight.
Here’s where I stopped on their portrait yesterday, John is just about finished.
I’ll probably complete this later on today and send it off for my client’s approval.
