Painting session - Woodland Stag

This week I have changed the way that I work slightly to accommodate a couple of restrictions, and it has turned out to be in my favour. I spent yesterday painting this gentleman. I have used the same reference photo in a previous painting several years ago, and it was interesting for me, to return and see the differences in my own approach.

Beginning work on a new painting commission - Highland Cow in bright rainbow colours

Each Highland Cow portrait is a one-of-a-kind, unique oil painting. This little video shows the beginning stage of a new painting, which has been commissioned recently. Im going to film the whole process on this one and give the client the video along with the piece.

Corrie the Highland Cow

One of the joys of commissioning a custom painting, is the ability to choose the subject and the colour palette and then let me do the rest!

Work process video - painting a horse portrait.

I had already painted the first layer of this painting of a beautiful Chestnut Peruvian Paso gelding called Tucker, kind permission of K Broemmelsick.  I hung the canvas up to dry and it was actually almost a year until I managed to get a second session in. I filmed myself painting the next stage and made a video.  When editing it, I found out that I use my fingers rather more than I realise!
