Yes. I do the line work first. Here is some of my paper art.

I like the Russian Orthodox cross one in particular.

Do you ever try actual spray paint?

It has good potential. And the study itself looks nice, especially the reflections.

Here is a commission i received from a person in Atlanta. He went out to Montana and took the photo and emailed it to me. I have never worked from just a blind photo where i have not actually been to the place i am painting. So not sure how this will work out but will give it a try.

The painting will be 30x18 this study is 14x8 1/2.

That would be challenging to do the kind of painting you do with the light effects without being there to evaluate and correct the photo. Looks good so far, however.

My daughter has been practicing her water color lately. She painted this, then I then added lighting, etc. in digital.

The passage in Chronicles tells us it took place in a barley field.

Thanks, it looks like this commission may fizzle out. I sent an email of updated drawing, and the person was really slow in replying. Actually he did not reply until i sent a second email asking if he received the original email.

So if it does, in a way i will be glad, just really did not like working form someone else's photo.

Another good reason to do a study first!
