Two New Paintings Off and Running ...

This is one of the photos I took while visiting the dairy farm - one of the very young calves. He or she [I didn't check] was very photogenic!!!

My drawing

A barely-there beginning ...

Sketch for the second painting

I've done several w/w washes for the soft and distant background - may still need more. And I have laid in some aureolin to start the robes.

Looking a bit livelier after dipping into the quin. sienna. I have a feeling many more glazes will be needed ...

Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome.

  4. I admire that you can get stuck in to several projects at one time. My maximum is two, lol!
    Anyway - I think your cow is going to be wonderful! And i can already feel the heat from your figure painting. Can't wait to watch them progress!
