So I took an Art class this weekend with Jay Hester in Boerne, TX. He was one of the instructors when I recieved a scholarship from HLSR. So since I am trying to begin an art career I decided I needed to learn something new and improve my skills.
I decided to work on my art show piece for the Hill Country Arts Council: Art in Conservation Spring Show 2011. I generally don't like landscapes. Too, many trees, too much green and too boring. If there was some cows in a landscape it's more interesting...ect. So this is different and out of my comfort zone.
Since the last time I took from, I've gotten lazy. I race through the underpainting and then block in everything in with color. Really it more like painting by numbers. Take your time building your underpainting...the better the map the better you will be able to work on the pictire. Place your darks first and then build around the object as it is relative to it. If you don't get what I'm saying that's ok. :) So this is the beginning of the piece...Step one.
