2012New Painting, Step Four: Fleshing It Out
A lot of progress today on the overall painting (though a lot of that is unseen here). I’m getting close. I expect the next update will be the finished piece. Today’s focus was mostly the scene around her— the fruit, the hanging vines in the foreground, etc. I also did a little more work on her skin, though she’s looking pretty chiseled right now… I may ratchet that back some.
Tomorrow I’m back to work on The Creep, so I’ll have to do a little painting here and there in my off time, but hopefully I’ll get to post the completed work soon! Stay tuned.

Seeing these steps makes me think…Is she going to eat those grapes, or what?! (har har) But seriously, looking great, Jonathan, and very informative. I want to track down those favorite pencils you mentioned. I’ve had a good couple of months with the Eberhard Faber col-erase ones , but I’m ready to try something new. Anyhow, just popping by to say Wow!

I am loving this series on your process.

Thanks, Samantha and Aaron! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it. It’s definitely some of the best fun I’ve had with painting.
