This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I'll try to remember to measure it before the next time I post her. I've been working on blocking in her face, features, and hair. The hair is partly underpainted and partly blocked in, the silhouettes of where the little birds will be is visible...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I've started on underpainting her face and neck. Sometimes I am enamored of this soft focus stage, but I enjoy taking things to another level, so the painting continues...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I've only worked on the background at this point, a soft yellow that lets the panel shine through a bit. It's difficult to make out the details at this point, maybe next time I paint on one of these wood panels that Alex's father cut to fit vintage frames for me, I will gesso the panel first instead of just using GAC-100 to seal in the sketch, but I'll see how it goes with this painting...
I have finally completed Lovers Bough, the original little bird has been adopted (thank you), but I have had some interest expressed in prints. If you'd like to be put on the list to be informed when I'm able to release prints, please contact me. I'm debating now on the subject of my next small painting and also planning on moving forward on the larger piece Lovers Bough was a prequel for...
It has been a while since I've posted a wip of any of my personal works. It's been a while since I've worked on them... Facebook shamed me by posting a memory post of this, I hadn't realized how long I'd left it by the wayside. Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. Here I've painted the base of the flowers, I still need to paint their cores and put some final details on the little bird.
Behind, but not forgotten! Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. It's been a while since I've made any progress on this painting, but it is not forgotten. I need to work on the flowers and some details on the bird still, but it is coming along...
Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. This is the winning bird. I'd planned to do a more straightforward study of just the bird; but when I took some advice and made the form smaller and paid attention to some details, I decided that while still keeping it a study, to incorporate some sakura cherry blossoms and make it more of a stand alone painting.
Happy Thanksgiving! It occurs to me that I don't have a lot of fall art, but I did take this photo at Descanso Gardens of a very grate...
