A Painting in Progress
 This stage is the pencil outline on canvas. I call this stage "mapping out" my painting. Once I finished mapping it out I emailed this photo to Sharyn for approval before I began painting. 
The first two colors are added. 
A deep red undercoat for the background. This it is covered in a pattern of random brushstrokes in three colors of red for texture.
Gold outlines around the horses.
Mica power added to the tan colors as a base for next step. As you can see, this step is a bit messy.
The coat of mica is sealed to allow more vigorous treatment of these areas in the next step. After the sealer is dry I was able to wash off the excess mica power that was smeared onto the red background. Any remaining powerder was painted over in the background colors.
A mixture of tan and metallic gold paint is applied over the mica areas and wiped away so that the tan portions take on a weathered burnished look.
After emailing the photo of the painting to Sharyn at this stage for approval she felt the background was not an earthy enough red. This was a simple fix, I added brush strokes of brick and barn red to give the background more of a earthy red tone.
Detail of writing incorporated into the brushstrokes under the black horses head. This painting has the clients and her husbands names worked into the background. They are not obvious, but layered over eachother throughout the painting.
Detail of the tan wiped away over the metallic layer.
Detail of the black horse and his mane.
Detail of tan horse, here you can see where the tan paint applied over the sealed mica power has been wiped off to allow the gold tones to peek out.
Detail of black horse. The tan mane of the black horse has the same treatment of wiping off the tan paint over the mica as the tan horse.
Here's is the finished painting as seen in natural light. The dark dot in the image is cause by my camera lens and is not in the actual painting at all.
Thanks for visiting my art site. I hope you enjoy your visit and please come back to see what's new. My services page has many links I recommend for all art lovers, including links to some of my favorite emerging and established artists.
This site includes many examples of both my personal and public artworks. My art encompasses all of my life and reflects my relation ship with my sons, the fact that I am woman, living in San Diego County, local, national and worldwide current events. I paint in watercolor, acrylic paint and I use markers and metallic ink pens extensively. I prefer my art to be straight forward and easily understood, but I also work to include subtle signs and symbols in my work so that there is always more to find.
