Chicoartist Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) This is my current project, which I'm feverishly trying to complete by mid-March. It's a commission project for a long-time collector of mine: Final pencil study. The image was tweaked post-completion to add the four airborne aircraft, which I decided to add after the original drawing had been sold off: The 19 x 42 inch canvas ready for paint. If you look closely, you can see the outline images of everything. A Burnt Sienna wash aids in value judgements - more so than the stark white: Sky complete: Background pretty much complete: Fuselage getting there: Prop and more fuselage done: Wade Edited February 12, 2008 by Chicoartist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clave Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Nice, very nice indeed! I like the process shots - it shows the huge amount of work you are putting in... :D :D :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think the pencil drawing looks great itself and I can't wait to see more of the painting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicoartist Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks, fellas ... I'll be submitting this piece for consideration for the upcoming ASAA juried exhibition in Seattle, along with three other works of mine. Hope at least ONE of them gets in since I'll be attending the June Forum. For more info on that, see: http://www.asaa-avart.org. Oops ... my time to work expires in 40 minutes ... best get back to it! Wade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Jongen Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Painting looks great Wade and so does the pencil drawing, I'm impressed with how neatly you manage to paint around the parts of the aircraft you haven't done yet. Look forward to seeing further progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicoartist Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi guys, I finally finished the main aircraft ... lots of details, but now that it's done the rest of the elements, while detailed also, should go much faster now that my brushes are warmed up. Can I quit now ... ? :cry: :huh: :lol: :huh: A little recap for you of the painting of this plane: Wade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicoartist Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 As the saying goes, "Do not let slow progress dampen your enthusiasm!" Recent hours spent assembling and completing documents and forms for our annual report to the Imperial Federal Gov't meant slow progress of late. As a reminder, the canvas is 19 x 42": Wade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
