If you don't mind, how many hours would you think you have into the whole thing?
Thanks. I usually paint in very thin layers and kind of build up the painting as I go along. All of those details and highlights that make it pop have to wait until the end. Sometimes I'll rough them in to get an idea of where they'll be, but they don't get refined until the end. Total painting time is probably between 20-30 hours? Just a guess. A lot of time is spent just planning and making tiny adjustments. I spend a ton of time just pacing back and forth between the easel and the far end of the room. You will see things differently depending on how close or far away you are. You also see things completely different when you flip a canvas or panel upside down. That's one of the easiest ways to sort out perspective or proportion problems. Flip the picture upside down and the problem area is usually glaringly obvious. When looking at it right side up, your brain will compensate by sending you a preconceived idea of whatever it is you're looking at. We do it all the time. We fill in and fix things that aren't right all the time with everything we look at. Wow...I'm rambling...

Re: Hatchling BP Oil Painting
Wow, that's really beautiful!
I work in a building with a lot of artists' studios, and there are always all kinds of paintings on the walls. But most of them are nowhere near as nice.
The shine on the scales is really nice... that looks like an adorable little baby, too!
