Caution, Wet Paint

[sho220]

These are pics of a painting of my Pastel that I'm working on. I'm working in oils on 18x24 inch cotton canvas.

Here's a rough sketch to begin with...



Here's the first layer of background color...



Another layer of background color and laying in the black stripes (black was actually not used. It's a mix of burnt umber, crimson red and blue. Gives more depth than straight black).



This is the first layer of yellows and whites....and worked a little on the reflection....



At this point it's about 10-15% done...I'll post updates as I progress...

Absolutely stunning!! I bet the mixture of colors instead of black is unbelievable in person! You can see the subtle undertones of color in the pics, so I'm sure the real thing would blow you away! Keep up the fantastic work! I only wish I was as talented as you, but alas, I have trouble writing my name legibly!! =)

Wow! I'm totally in awe of artistic talent considering I can't draw a stick figure that looks...well....like a stick figure! Please keep us up-to-date on the progression of this work. Is this your first snake painting?
