Hello everyone,
I thought I would share with you the process of painting a recent 24″ by 36″ Southwestern still life. Here in the first image you will notice I am just looking to get the canvas completely covered with basic tones. I am working in acrylic here so speed is essential because of the quick drying time. You will notice I keep a spray bottle handy to spritz my canvas and my palette if necessary.
I painted ‘Four Running Horses’ within the home of where is was commissioned to be hung, in St. George Utah. The very exciting thing about this painting is that from start to finish this painting was completed in a total of 3 days! My customer in this case also actually worked along side me on this painting. This was both instrumental in allowing me to teach her some very advanced painting skills, while also very helpful in that we were able to complete this painting together much faster than if I had been working on it alone. In many ways this was an ideal setup for both myself and my customer. I welcome more arrangements like this one for the future!
