I am in the process of
painting a second eagle painting. I will be posting the process to
demonstrate the steps to the finished piece. In these first 4 images
I show the process of underpainting. 1. Here I "stained" the
painting using a color which is complementary to the general color
of the painting. (Orange is the
complementary of blue) I continued
until the entire painting was covered. 2. Using quick brushstrokes I
painted the sky without worrying about any detail. I simply
concentrated on giving broad areas the approximate color of what I
would like it to be. 3. and 4. show the same application for the
mountain as well as for the foreground and eagle. Do not worry about
detail at this stage. That will come later. |
