Underpainting of Bubba
This is the first oil painting that I have attempted in a long time. I had a bad medical problem with oils that prevents me from using them. After reading Karin Wells' posts about Genesis oils I started experimenting with them. This is the first portrait painting I am attempting with these new paints. This painting is of Bubba Dunn. He is a national champion, and record holder for the PBR (Professional Bull Riders for all of you noncowboys). His agent contacted me for this portrait. The logo on his shirt is for Mossy Oak. They are a camoflage company and his major sponsor. This painting may end up in their corporate offices. It is mounted on board. The finished size is 16 x 20. The plaid shirt was necessary for the logo. I had a choice to paint plaid or camo. I chose plaid. He is leaning on a pull gate from a rodeo arena. I am open to any suggestions as well as digital manipulation. It has been awhile since I have done this.
Thanks,
Rebecca
