MY CURRENT PAINTING STEP BY STEP *
IN THIS SECTION I WILL PUBLISH PHOTOS OF MY CURRENT PAINTING AT EACH STAGE OF ITS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THROUGH TO COMPLETION
I HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS PAINTING FOR SOME TIME, THE IDEA IS TO CAPTURE A LEOPARD STALKING A HERD OF ANTELOPE THROUGH LONG GRASS AND THE TITLE WILL BE TITLED “ VIEW TO A KILL”
IN THIS FIRST SITTING I HAVE STARTED TO COMPOSE THE LAYOUT AND I HAVE BLOCKED IN THE LEOPARD. IM PROBABLY GOING TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE DISTANT HILLS. I AM USING ACRYLICS FOR THIS WORK AND I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.
I HAVE NOW COMPLETED THE COMPOSITION OF THE PAINTING, DEVELOPED THE SKY, THE HILLS AND ADDED SOME THOMPSON GAZELLE
I HAVE NOW DEVELOPED THE SKY USING COBALT BLUE, PAYNES GREY AND TITANIUM WHITE. THE DISTANT HILLS HAVE BEEN BLOCKED IN USING YELLOW OCHRE, PAYNES GREY AND ULTRAMARINE BLUE.
I WILL NEXT BE USING A GLAZE TO PUSH THE HILLS FURTHER BACK AND I WILL BE ADDING A HERD OF THOMPSON GAZELLES - THE TARGET
