I’m revisiting a more traditional painting technique, using stretched canvas. It’s the first time since high school that I’ve stretched my own canvas. I’m also working with a more traditional ratio of vertical to horizontal and not panorama this time. Here in these photos you see the progression so far on the painting.
Adding shading starts to help me decide where the forms rest, and how to create believable depth. SCROLL DOWN.
Adding texture and more depth will allow for the next step of adding elemental reality, in this case water.
