Studio Time

I decided I needed to work a bit larger for a while and this thing has been hanging around for way too long, so… I spent some time on it a couple of days ago. This is what things look like after the first session. I shaded things in with Sennelier’s (green) sepia, then went back and scrubbed in the highlights with titanium white and topped it all of with a sap green glaze here and there. It’s acrylic on very wet raw canvas. I spent as much time with a spray bottle as I did a brush. Keeping things wet blurs the paint into the canvas and makes for some really dense colors. It’s a little easier to see where this is going than in the sketch.

This spent the day yesterday getting sealed with a couple of coats of clear acrylic medium and drying while I worked on other stuff. Today, I’ll start figuring out the color a little better. 🙂 I can see a few changes that need to be made as well.
