A painting development

[Michele Rushworth]

Thanks, Bill, for posting these fascinating steps!

Any chance you could add some closeups at various stages, too?

Thanks!

P.S. I've been watching the video I took during your 2003 Scottsdale class and it feels like you've come to my home for a nice visit.

I thought they might be of use to my fan out there (you know who you are.)

Hummmmmm.........



Bill I notice the shadow development through out all of these images stay very smooth, no matter what stage. Are you applying paint to these areas thinly in the beginning or blending them with your sables and using the knife on the light areas?

I certainly learned I will not be a surgeon and should never pick up a knife but that is another story.

Why is it all of your models move to DC or Virginia... maybe they are related!

Thanks for the demo as always the work is lovely and presented in a understandable fashion!
