Mazalo I applaud you taking on this piece,I don’t know how you are handling such a huge composition.
I have to admit at being beaten by the full composition of the dwarf painting,and so gave it up, as I started with too small a canvas and so I decided to do a bigger study of it instead.
I have tried to keep it loose and give it an alla prima feel too it, I think I’ll skip onto the other Velasques painting and do somethig with that instead.

Claybub, I have got to say you are doing a better job than I did with the Velasques Dwarf, it had me beat…ended up just doing a face study. Welldone so far, you look like you have got the face pretty much spot on.:thumbsup:

I just started this up, I have never really done anything like this with a wacom tablet. So it may take me some time. I trying to establish proportions, negative space and placement on the canvas with the blue lines. The red lines are starting to establish details. When everything is sketched out I will start roughing out a black and white tonal study. This should allow me to easily low opacity color later on, in theory that is.

xiannc: i lke the feel to it already!

mazalo: amazing :eek:

abeld3dg: i really like your colors! it looks like it’s going to turn out really great, what resolution are you working at?

i think i’ll start working on mine again tonight :slight_smile:

#131

Hi Guys… :slight_smile:

A bit more progress (including working on the mirrored scene separately on a larger scale to get the details in).
Hopefully, by the end of making this copy, her expression will be a lot softer and less fed-up-looking!

Here is my update from last night while watching three kids:


sturmkim - yes real watercolor PENCIL. I have a hard time with just watercolor and I love color pencils now. So this one I just add water… the pencils are different. I only work in traditional mediums because I haven’t purchased a wacom yet. I think I will in the next few weeks though. Then maybe I can put some digitals out there. Until then, y’all have been nice enough to let me practice with the best. Thanks!

#135

eilidh: Thank you :slight_smile: I’ve just been experimenting with adding patterns to some of my existing brushes really. So some are my own and some are by others, but heavily modified.

Here’s my update, 2 days old :stuck_out_tongue: I didn’t want to continue working on it till I posted it because I think I’d go crazy and finish it off in a day. That wouldn’t be any fun then.

#136

Ok here is a quick sketch of the next head study…Now going to work on top of this.

Here I worked on some background…

…at the begining I thouth that this will be a big challenge for me , and it is…but I am satisfied with my progress so far…I am enyojing every brush I make…:slight_smile:
…I started very simple:
…first I made a quick skech with pencil in painter, then put the blue color in the background…and some orange…
…on another layer I started to block siluetes of the “company” and background to quickly get the feeling for the hole painting…I always work using underpainting technic …
…then I flatten all the layers, and started to work on details ,from left to the right…
