STAGE 1 – 31/10/10
Stage 1 shows the first sketch up of acrylic paint on canvas. I have no direction with this painting , nor do I have a clue where it is going. Today I put some shapes int he back ground and lined up the body. Thinking of blues and grays…..The Original works are by Photomusic
STAGE 1 – ON EASEL IN STUDIO
STAGE 2
I have now added Blue black, prussian blue and warm gray together. With this I painted the shadows and the outside edges. The canvas does not have enough gesso on it and the canvas is sucking up the paint. Still work to do on the guitar, hat, skin tone. Trying to keep it simple.
STAGE 3
So I am now preparing to do more work on the guitar after fining up the edges on the neck. Now the hard part, frets and strings. Errrr…..Nearly finished. When are they ever. I keep going back. Never happy at the end. Only ever happy the beginning. Need ot find my bling, my style, need to find something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here it is, can you spot the difference from stage 2?
*STAGE 4 FINAL STAGE – final stage and all wrapped up. Follow link to works.
*SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD…….YES, SOLD TONIGHT AT B’ARTISTE …Thank you to Di and John who bought my painting.

I agree Tim, I have to get looser, I always love the first go also…but my brain says, do more, do more and then I head of to “make it real land” and it turns out OK but not painterly. I will get there, keep trying. Thanks I like what you said. Billy
