Next Stage on Child Portrait
Friday January 27th, 2012
Here’s the next stage on the child portrait. I’ve got the gown at least blocked in, as well as her legs and shoes. Next step is blocking in the background and then making sure everything is in the right place. Making progress. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
First Color Stages on Portrait
Thursday January 26th, 2012
Here’s the first stages of getting color on the baby portrait. I’ve worked on the face and hands. She is starting to take form. Still a lot to go, so track the progress over the next few days. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Start of a New Portrait
Wednesday January 25th, 2012
Well, I’m back to the portraits. I got another commission to do a child, so here’s the drawing. She’s really cute, so that makes it easier. Now on to the color. More this week as this one develops. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Tropical Scene for Furniture
Tuesday January 24th, 2012
This was an interesting project. One of my good clients wanted to have a seascape on a pair of armorie doors for her Florida condo. So I painted one of my tropical sunsets on the doors for her. It turned out pretty well and should make for an interesting furniture piece. May be a whole new niche for me. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Final Version of the Pups
Monday January 23rd, 2012
Thought I would start out the week with the final version on these guys. I added more details and deepened the colors and shadows. Their people picked it up Saturday and were very happy with the painting, so that’s all good. Now on to other projects. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
And Finally, The Last One
Friday January 20th, 2012
And here’s the final of the three portraits. The folks do look dimensional, which is what I wanted. I also made them much younger than in the reference photo. In any event, they are all finished, and hopefully, the folks will like them. We’ll see about that. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Finished With Another Portrait
Thursday January 19th, 2012
Well, these guys are finished. I think they turned out fairly well. I was working from a less than stellar photo, so I had to do a lot of experimentation to get them close to right. Hopefully, they’ll like it when they see the real thing. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Almost Done With the Portraits
Wednesday January 18th, 2012
These guys are almost done. There are more details to straighten up and some stuff. They are finally coming around. The faces look much more formed on the painting, and the features are pretty much right. Should have the final version in a couple of days. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Almost Done With the Pups
Tuesday January 17th, 2012
I got to work on these guys some more, and except for a few polish up details, they are done. I think the overall effect is pretty good. I still need to put in whiskers and such, but otherwise, I got the effect I wanted with these cute guys. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Start Off the Week With Some Cute Puppies
Monday January 16th, 2012
Thought I would bring a smile on Monday morning with these guys. Just got started on them, but they already look pretty cute. I’ll work on adding the rest of the bodies and such later and let you see how they come along. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
