1)。我拍的背景,在这幅画我用几年前当我收集的参考“塞拉谷”。牛仔和小牛来自投篮的我的好朋友McCroskey丹尼斯。我不仅要改变色相和照明不少从任一参考射击,我也要开始这一个有点不同于我通常做的。我先画在我的场景二素描与棕色和绿色。干了以后,我将我的画布更像我语气通常做然后开始绘画从那里。
2)。第二天,我去吧,我像我通常语调帆布做的。这一次,然而,由于有这样一个淡黄色的阳光的感觉,我语气低画布更黄洗而不是鲜橙颜色我一般都喜欢。我立即然后开始油漆在天空。
3)。一旦我完成衬垫天空,我回去和细化边缘的树木和添加细节在必要时保持事物有些平和遥远的通过仔细控制我的价值观。
4)。今天,我花我的时间大部分在中间立场和篱笆。代表,这张照片不显示大部分的纹理和微妙的变化,我为它工作。无论如何,我只是即将开始“有趣的事”。
5)。我花很少的时间在牛仔和马,我想确保我的图是做得很好,无论是牛仔和马看起来有趣的…我有一个小的调整去做,但我仍对今天的时间。
6)。我觉得后面的栅栏柱子戳马只是有点分心,所以我涂到左边,然后开始工作在小牛…现在,事情开始形成一个小。更多的来…如果你不去,你应该加入我的绘画进步通讯,在这里你会得到更新这些A2Z帖子…去画一个链接,你可以注册一天那里。
7)。所以现在一切都开始走到一起,我剩下的小腿和起见开始忙乱一点和我的价值观…我只是有前景和一个小细节,它将做…
8)。我只是完成了…我得漆在绳子绕在小螺栓崩解的脖子,做点工作,绳子他有盘那里,我会叫它做的。有一些困扰我的天空,所以我釉面一点在右上角带东西在一点。我认为这是更好的现在…
这是完成的绘画
原文如下：
1.) I shot the background that I’m using in this painting several years ago when I was gathering reference for “Sierra Valley”. The cowboy and calves come from a shot taken of my good friend Dennis McCroskey. Not only am I going to change the hue and lighting quite a bit from either reference shot, I’m also going to start this one a little differently than I usually do. I begin by drawing in a two-value sketch of my scene with browns and greens. Once dry, I’ll tone my canvas more like I usually do and then begin the painting from there.
2.) The next day, I go ahead and tone my canvas like I usually do. This time, however, since there’s such a yellowish low Sun feel, I tone the canvas with a more yellow wash rather than the burnt orange color I typically like. I immediately then begin to paint in the sky.
3.) Once I finish laying-in the sky, I go back and refine the edges of the trees and add detail where necessary keeping things somewhat flat and distant by carefully controlling my values.
4.) Today, I spend the majority of my time on the middle ground and the fence. Admitedly, this shot doesn’s show much of the texture and subtle variation that I’ve worked into it. At any rate, I’m just about to begin the “fun stuff”.
5.) I spend a little time on the cowboy and the horse, I want to make sure my drawing is done well and that neither the cowboy nor the horse look funny…I have a little tweaking to do still, but I’m out of time for today.
6.) I feel as though the fence posts jutting up behind the horse were just a little distracting, so I paint them over to the left and then get to work on the calves…now things are starting to take shape a little. More to come…if you aren’t signed-up, you should sign-up for my painting progress newsletter, this is where you’ll get updates to these A2Z posts…go to the painting a day link and you can sign-up there.
7.) So now everything is starting to come together, I block-in the remaining calves and start to fuss a little with my values…I just have the foreground and a little detailing to do and it will be done…
8.) I’m just about finished…I have to paint in the rope around the little bolting calve’s neck and do a little work to the rope he has coiled there and I’ll be calling it done. There was something bothering me about the sky, so I glazed it a little in the upper right corner to bring things in a little. I think it’s better now…
