We are doing the circus show again, so I'm doing a series of small paintings for it and this one would be number 5, the subject will be a fox. I always start with a background first then move on to my main subjects. Here is a view of how the background evolves.
after the texture and collage is dry
dividing foreground from background
taped and glazes started
now the sky and ground are distinct
at this point it is the process of glaze over glaze letting the paint tell me where to go
adding a wall
doing the wall bit by bit and still glazing the background
these pictures show a brighter yellow cast than what's actually there
