Last night we had a spectacular turn out for the opening reception of our Wild's of Texas show. I enjoyed meeting so many new people and catching up with my fellow artists. One of the questions I got at the show was about the process of creating one of my pieces. So, here it is, step by step incase anyone wants to try their hand at their own artistic creation.
Step one (bottom) After I gessoed the canvas and laid on a layer of acrylic with a sea sponge, I planned my design. I use chalk because it is easy to remove and change.
Step two (middle) I filled in the spaces with color and some highlights. I taped off the point where the horse's hooves hit the ground and used the edge of a palate knife to add splashes of paint. This anchored my horse to the ground.
Step three (top) I continued with layers of color and outlined with Bob Ross Liquid Black Acrylic. The thick black lines added drama and created a feel of quick motion for the painting.
This is currently on display in the gallery at the MCL Grand Lewisville for the rest of April and May 2014. Enjoy!
