This was a fun painting to make due to the extreme proportions and subject matter. It was the first painting where I used acrylic as an underpainting medium and developed quickly
This is the second painting I created with acrylic underpainting and oil over top. Using the acrylic lets me set the drawing very quickly and develop the darks. The nuanced finished layers are done in oil.
Artists featured at the gallery will be presented here for those of you who cannot get to town to see the paintings in person. Opening receptions for the artists are on Second Fridays. For those of you interested in a particular piece let me know by email at jcr3151@verizon.net.
