It's taken me a seriously long time to sit down and do that. Here are some step by step pics of a couple of pieces that I actually chronicled. <br />
<br />
My process first begins with photographing my subject matter. Most of the time that subject is horses. I use a Canon T3i with a 70-300 zoom lens for most action shots. I used to use a Canon Xsi. I paint on wood panels, mostly birch that I buy at Lowes and cradle with 1x2's. I do use some pre-made wood painting panels as well. My smaller pieces are usually the edupanels from blick.<br />
<br />
<br />
Blessing of the Hunt<br />
My photographic reference: I crop and grid it in photoshop, sometime adjusting the contrast as well.<br />

I start drawing using a grid with thin paint on a recently toned board, this time in paynes gray, which is what I use for a cooler image, I use burnt sienna for a warmer piece</div>

Then I start to build the values still using a thin layer of paynes gray and erasing some of the tone with a brush dipped in mineral spirits</div>

I start to work in the color. I don't always do this in the same order but typically I start in the focal point. I use a muted palette so that my focal point can have the punch of color. I also tend to have a little of the background color in every color I mix.<br />

Another piece, Out in Front<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Once again started with a photograph. I take thousands of pictures when I'm shooting and once and a while a photo composition works, often tho I have to remove or add elements to make it work right. The horses in this piece just worked. I did remove the tower on the left because it was distracting. </span><br />

The photo's aren't great and I'll remedy that when I get back. They're still drying. The landscape was a bit laborious, I think I'll take a break from those for a while.

So you should see a lot more work up here soon. <br /><br />Today is a New day, having just returned from the <a href="http://www.societyillustrators.org/At-the-Museum/2011/Illustrators-53-Book-and-Editorial/Illustrators-53--Book-and-Editorial-Exhibit.aspx">Society of Illustrators opening for Book and Editorial work</a>, I have a renewed energy to accomplish the things on my plate right now. Meeting remarkable people in my field, including my favorite <a href="http://www.manchess.com">illustrator</a>, that are humble and welcoming and very much just like me gave me that renewed energy and stamina to kick it into overdrive and produce the work that I have been dying to make for a while. <br /><br />Stay tuned for a couple of pieces for <a href="http://www.studiogallerysf.com/About_STUDIO_Gallery.html">Studio Galleries</a> Delicious show opening in April. <br> As well as, <br />4+ pieces for <a href="http://www.spa-fine-art.com">Spa Fine Art</a> in Saratoga, NY in Mid April. I'm on the second piece, I'm hoping this one, like the first one, sells before it goes to the gallery. I also have a personal portrait project that I am in the middle of and 2 commissions. Busy Busy Busy, but I can't complain :) <br /><br />We're off to Sunny California for 12 days on the 17th and the weather change will be a nice break from the cold that is keeping our 2+ feet of snow from melting. I don't mind the snow, but it's getting hard to get out of the garage, there's no place left for the plow to put the it. <br /><br />I've been substitute teaching in the K-12 environment for a couple of months now and it has been as much an education for me as the kids. It takes my time away from painting, but I do get a lot out of it. <br /><br />Off to paint. I'll post updates soon.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08142594957958823626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441653937313109741.post-73768281812150717082010-12-22T14:42:00.001-08:002010-12-22T14:58:14.581-08:00New Painting Progress The Blessing of the HuntHey everyone, here is what I am working on, I'm almost done with the drawing part, when it's dry I'll get going on the rest. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi48rklzJIYv7ZmLN9CkicS_-evoi2Na-m_be0WtrjWsC94yClDtfNmDwrAMHehVA03U_BOxtq2x8LTvFt5_MZEHDt_UX8axrthuJEn73YbIYLLk9l5vz6G4g8K0pzHR2f9mJPxQ5JXMxHh/s1600/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt1a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi48rklzJIYv7ZmLN9CkicS_-evoi2Na-m_be0WtrjWsC94yClDtfNmDwrAMHehVA03U_BOxtq2x8LTvFt5_MZEHDt_UX8axrthuJEn73YbIYLLk9l5vz6G4g8K0pzHR2f9mJPxQ5JXMxHh/s320/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt1a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553643177898329554" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo7H7nx5BdMORL20C1cedgfVle3DTUqKLLjR_4wXgHT03HbQSre5Wp1nNMXYpzF7AhYS24MPCcbEmiHU9M31e2qAJYj0KNBAVkeGPzQaMsYAC5EU2GX4V51pbIDZhbtorqbrmAObQxKqot/s1600/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo7H7nx5BdMORL20C1cedgfVle3DTUqKLLjR_4wXgHT03HbQSre5Wp1nNMXYpzF7AhYS24MPCcbEmiHU9M31e2qAJYj0KNBAVkeGPzQaMsYAC5EU2GX4V51pbIDZhbtorqbrmAObQxKqot/s320/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553643429139285874" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQf_nauz74ZXckceAjb6ih_onYZxexoU_XeN_ObUOOi_1Pkf08IXTuD4qqg5THWwrT6arMssZiSNYLnkO3XSAjpKhwb4gueMXcJvtc6xFUTGKIRdtG7KvzEnfUDqZ2rUvs2bcFerlGv0Ri/s1600/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQf_nauz74ZXckceAjb6ih_onYZxexoU_XeN_ObUOOi_1Pkf08IXTuD4qqg5THWwrT6arMssZiSNYLnkO3XSAjpKhwb4gueMXcJvtc6xFUTGKIRdtG7KvzEnfUDqZ2rUvs2bcFerlGv0Ri/s320/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt4.jpg" <br />border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553643822625182754" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsZTU_76Z11CL_56mji_-_9ftpUuzZ-Y-Nn_WwLnYkgM-Ye_mnSwVbj7kVBMdAbBXTxxlt05SmBebnF1_yB3245Yl3Wn6rV47AU-SD8s2U5c-kqZDPaZcjqrf8R0Ue7CUrHlwo_aczvNIO/s1600/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsZTU_76Z11CL_56mji_-_9ftpUuzZ-Y-Nn_WwLnYkgM-Ye_mnSwVbj7kVBMdAbBXTxxlt05SmBebnF1_yB3245Yl3Wn6rV47AU-SD8s2U5c-kqZDPaZcjqrf8R0Ue7CUrHlwo_aczvNIO/s320/Progress_BlessingoftheHunt5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553644071996195650" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08142594957958823626noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441653937313109741.post-91215128717354151442010-11-30T15:50:00.000-08:002010-11-30T15:57:16.476-08:00New Work<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-oKs0y8G6XU3JX76TH03ruZcOoUNG606gVNjEbGhiWbZj7cbYhch92oKPk35CTEQueuW28mjg_m2trcHdCfhnbbTbNjCfnPHlH8tPyN9MPVf9w8teGGxPvJ8ENgJ3w670xFEvsRI40kXT/s1600/finalOutinFront700.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-oKs0y8G6XU3JX76TH03ruZcOoUNG606gVNjEbGhiWbZj7cbYhch92oKPk35CTEQueuW28mjg_m2trcHdCfhnbbTbNjCfnPHlH8tPyN9MPVf9w8teGGxPvJ8ENgJ3w670xFEvsRI40kXT/s320/finalOutinFront700.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545495766353379650" /></a><br /><br />I am currently working on a series of horse racing paintings...
