Saturday, July 25, 2009 at 6:12PM Today I have a few snapshots for you of the painting process and a YouTube video.
(Go easy on me! It's my first YouTube video ever!)
Oh quick note - to begin the painting process I took the sketch that was scanned into the computer and printed it out on my watercolor paper. That saves me the step of having to manually transfer the sketch to the paper.
Also keep in mind that every piece of art goes through what I call the "ugly stages" that's part of the process where things look wonky for a while as the overall piece begins to develop. This piece is in the throes of its ugly stage (which has NOTHING to do with the handsome fella that is the subject!)

And here is the video:
I'll post more pics this week when I have more time to paint. Been a busy family weekend!

Wow you paint fast! Too much coffee? :)
Looking great! And I see no "wonkies!" If you wanna see some wonkies, just look at MY wips--hehe! ;-P
Wow !! I love it =) I'm impatient to see the result !
Thanks everyone! Can't wait to carve out a larger chunk of time to work on the painting! I'm anxious to get it finished but I have a few mundane real world things in the way at the moment!
