steps and stages
you all seem to really like when i post how my paintings come to be, so i thought i'd post another one, and perhaps turn it into an occasional feature called 'steps and stages' here on the blog. i tried to really document this one, but it's so funny-- sometimes i'll get so involved that i forget to take photos! i'll have to set an alarm for myself or something. :)
something i'd like to do at some point is interviews with other artists about their processes in creating pieces-- i know i always learn something from seeing how other creative people work, and i'm wondering if you would like it, too. what do you think? would that be a good addition to the blog? it could also fall under the heading of 'steps and stages.'
this piece feels a bit different to me than previous work, but i'm really liking it. i'm pretty obsessed with indian yellow oil pain these days. the color is so transparent and gorgeous! (sorry for the fuzzy photos...)
and here is a detail of the water, just for fun:
and the final product:

just GORGEOUS! these colors are exquisite. i also love reading and seeing the processes of other artists. it's fascinating how the brain works!
beautiful work!
first off,i think this painting is incredible..the colors, the mood, the shadows...
i think it's a wonderful idea to show your steps and other artists steps and stages...it is something i am always fascinated by.
oh that's so cool to see come to life, so inspiring... can I ask: what do you use for your line work, I have been flipping back and forth between different pens (Sakura, Penstix, laundry markers (!), etc) and india ink in a bottle with a pen nib, but so far haven't found anything that I love, so I always like to ask all you artists whose line work I love, what do you use? (if that's ok to ask)
Oh, yes please make this a regular feature!
Jess! I really love this feature and am so excited to see this. Those shadows are incredible.
not only do i love the painting, i love seeing it come to life. this sounds like it's going to be a wonderful feature. yay for us!
