I have been working a lot with Holbein’s drawings as inspiration recently. Here is my latest painting. Old meets new as traditional merges with funky! I photographed my journey with this painting so you can see the different stages along the way.
The drawing
Working the shadows with black & gray
Adding blocks of colour
Outlining the background – the tree and fields
Layering more details and highlights
More detail and starting the duck.

Call me crazy, but I love the pale, unfinished look of the third step paining. Very beautifully done on the dress folds.

Thank you. The dress folds were a lot of fun to do! I know what you mean with the third painting!

This is beautifully done…love the stepping out, the fabric folds and the combination of more modern flowers.
