This is a commission on a 10x10 birch cradle board, may favorite painting surface. Here is the start; as usual I started with the eye. This is the most important part because it draws the viewer in. I will post more pics as the painting progresses.

As you can see I always tone my canvas before painting. I normally use a burnt sienna wash just enough to get rid of the white. If you draw an imaginary line from corner to corner diagonally you will see that Mushroom's eye is dead center of the canvas.
Here is the progression of Mushroom's painting. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8mMdBEjtyy8XllMF7Y7cFY4kXJtWdbLa5ofgv6AAgi_VW3xagPuswhTw6B1-Qqc7Db9OLetTSmqaVY9Jgw-vI_WXnCZM9Lkyq3rFrEogpiCCiHR0C0ZFwQTs48RAQgFHZ-HG_UDTqU6E/s1600/mushroom+22.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8mMdBEjtyy8XllMF7Y7cFY4kXJtWdbLa5ofgv6AAgi_VW3xagPuswhTw6B1-Qqc7Db9OLetTSmqaVY9Jgw-vI_WXnCZM9Lkyq3rFrEogpiCCiHR0C0ZFwQTs48RAQgFHZ-HG_UDTqU6E/s200/mushroom+22.jpg" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyhuFI129W02_AzYW3dRLC7vZ_1rLrt8qOmW1Sd-od978rwP_8bgKFoegQiw52pQ5NO5tIeVMYDHXqc0IDsg4wPQ1ejk5BW4dDFXxCFEHuHU1Mz0cpudLBioyk5RgOHamPFdX8a0F_IXA/s1600/mushroom+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyhuFI129W02_AzYW3dRLC7vZ_1rLrt8qOmW1Sd-od978rwP_8bgKFoegQiw52pQ5NO5tIeVMYDHXqc0IDsg4wPQ1ejk5BW4dDFXxCFEHuHU1Mz0cpudLBioyk5RgOHamPFdX8a0F_IXA/s200/mushroom+4.jpg" /></a></div>

This painting is done with cooler light and colors. I have several new tubes of Gamblin oil paint which I used because I wanted to try out their new colors. In this painting I used Gamblin's Portland Grey Cool, Portland grey Medium, Cool White, Portland Grey Warm, Titanium Buff, Titanium White and Warm White. I also used Terra Rosa and a cheap Paynes Gray from Winsor Newton. The background is Gamblin's Titanium Buff. I love this color. The Paynes Gray was crap so I throw the tube away.

He was relaxing in the sun on the living room floor when I snapped the photo I used for this painting. I show here the steps I go through when painting. First, I tone my canvas, in this care, with Gamblin's Perylene Red. Once the canvas is dry I work out the composition. I draw the layout with a brush in raw umber and turpinoid. I use turpinoid because it is easy to wipe out what I do not like as the drawing progresses. Once I am satisfied with the brush drawing I let the painting dry. Even when dry I can go back in with turpinoid to make changes to the composition if needed. It took about 3 hours go get the brush drawing where I wanted it. Once this stage was dry I painted in color. As you can see I started with Alan's face. When I have a good start on the face I go directly to the eyes. I spent a lot of time getting the eyes correct. The viewer naturally is drawn to the subjects eyes so that is where I put the most detail. After the eyes are complete I paint the body. I spend much less time on the body and I don't put a lot of detail in Alan's stripes. The subject of this painting is the cat's paws and claws so I have made them a bit bigger than normal to emphasize them. The rest of the painting is support for the main subject and, therefore, I painted it with less emphasis. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqo9j1-c6JqLyaJLhlCVF5M_EO0V_91LAQYsw0F1uwioBtvnilTF_zSLeMw2scBC_IWxEVwPeIEcLHn1wXlYDCiHl8QML8HgAOEU058BT0hyphenhyphenW6xEgOPJtH_a2v1v45OMYcdu3PTmCoA24/s1600/photo-21.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqo9j1-c6JqLyaJLhlCVF5M_EO0V_91LAQYsw0F1uwioBtvnilTF_zSLeMw2scBC_IWxEVwPeIEcLHn1wXlYDCiHl8QML8HgAOEU058BT0hyphenhyphenW6xEgOPJtH_a2v1v45OMYcdu3PTmCoA24/s320/photo-21.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7eKlYu3XwDffE-MvDF4KSG-YqX8lts44duVm45l1hV8asVrCaPtTWqWSQCtY2Tk8nmhpA_WwEPCqNdDBFwSC6g864eU6I3R0lhOf0XYv3I2AcwFbwJIeWtGeKGYdpwILnfswjG03ggU/s1600/photo-17.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7eKlYu3XwDffE-MvDF4KSG-YqX8lts44duVm45l1hV8asVrCaPtTWqWSQCtY2Tk8nmhpA_WwEPCqNdDBFwSC6g864eU6I3R0lhOf0XYv3I2AcwFbwJIeWtGeKGYdpwILnfswjG03ggU/s320/photo-17.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdLizuYGcmV2jw45iCTxs4SiC7IZ2ROhGoNbpezQhBchjyuWvWwWA-JbFe7yKXRBDs7At-aod4TGW6eflze0E_2v8sprjkf4FbnKVC-HN_FrtJVSXzGmNmeEB3Ehit8N4b4xQYRE3qPww/s1600/photo-19.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdLizuYGcmV2jw45iCTxs4SiC7IZ2ROhGoNbpezQhBchjyuWvWwWA-JbFe7yKXRBDs7At-aod4TGW6eflze0E_2v8sprjkf4FbnKVC-HN_FrtJVSXzGmNmeEB3Ehit8N4b4xQYRE3qPww/s320/photo-19.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-jxneC0xet6BRmarIr3WKk3BlVxcodiTbsX1NkGoDwrSzDi6FRn9nkB66luE7JCtHMSkSuzUiqgLzySe6c0wucL_13NjkzPfRhERUoZw23qxHQ5PoTDkhKZxiChKNXfmS3gPc7xeeYw/s1600/photo-24.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-jxneC0xet6BRmarIr3WKk3BlVxcodiTbsX1NkGoDwrSzDi6FRn9nkB66luE7JCtHMSkSuzUiqgLzySe6c0wucL_13NjkzPfRhERUoZw23qxHQ5PoTDkhKZxiChKNXfmS3gPc7xeeYw/s320/photo-24.JPG" /></a></div>Lorrainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07537010872908856393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403109205055658497.post-70909787753854896102013-10-23T16:57:00.001-07:002013-10-23T16:58:09.861-07:00Rabbit on a Crate with an Apple, 24x24, 0ilI thought it would be funny to show the progression I go through when doing an oil painting. So, this is the progression of a painting of my friend and fellow Rabbit Advocate Kem Sypher. Though Snowflake is no long on this earth Kem, a photographer extraordinaire, has many photos of her which he has shared with me.
I always start out with a canvas toned with burnt Sienna, either oil or acrylic, it doesn't matter at this stage. This canvas was toned with oil burnt sienna. Then I layout the subject matter in the Bistre style (no that isn't a typo). You can look that up on Google; basically it is painting in one color using the wipe out method to achieve the under painting. I don't move on to color until I have the layout perfect. This saves a lot of time when I start painting with color. Also, I don't have to go back in and change any compositional mistakes if I paint the under painting is Bistre.
Once the under painting is exactly the way I want it I start laying in color. My darks are painted thinly and the lights are painted very thick. The painting goes very fast this way.
The first afternoon I laid out the composition (Bistre). The next day the under painting was dry enough to start laying in color. It only took another afternoon to paint the rabbit and the apple. Now, I had to let that dry to paint the crate.
Here you can see the progression of the painting. It isn't finished yet. I'll add the final photos of the painting as I complete the next stages.
Oops! The last photo should be the first photo, showing how I start the layout.
More to come.....

Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts Show. JUNE 21, 22, 23, 2013<b></b>I would like to invite you to the Arts Council of Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts. This year is the 17th annual Chronicle Exhibit. I am one of 50 participating artists invited to show work at the Chronicle Exhibit. This years theme is THEN & NOW. It is an exhibition exploring the nature of artists' working relationships, collaboration and mentor-ship. Thomas Kenneth Conway, a past show winner, invited me to collaborate with him on a painting theme. Together we chose to paint a recipe. We selected GUACAMOLE as our theme. Tom and I have not seen each others paintings. We chose to be surprised opening night of the show, June 21st. I will be at the show from 6pm to 9pm if you would like to join me.
Here is my entry into the show. "Guacamole", oil, 13"x31". $1500
