Thank you so much! I guess there really WAS a reason I felt unable to paint over it.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it was a very uncomfortable pose, poor Oliver. I padded the floor with small pieces of foam, under his joints and head, but I think it was agonizing nonetheless. Who knows, maybe it contributed to his precipitous departure for CA! <BR/>;-><BR/><BR/>Arvindh, I rarely make preliminary sketches but just start painting directly onto the canvas. I draw it in loosely at first with paint, making changes and adjustments till it feels right. This can take a while. Then I'll start laying on the body color, roughing in shadows etc.. This was painted from life, in a couple of sessions and then I worked just a little further from a very poor, fuzzy snapshot I'd taken as a way of "holding the pose". But I quickly gave up as it wasn't a useful reference photo. I hope that answers your question? Let me know if not.Nancy Bea Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833697697334243593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156386594603149097.post-82953805068886784652007-07-05T12:50:00.000-07:002007-07-05T12:50:00.000-07:00Wow!
