I am a Natural Freehand Artist, I completed my first oil painting at age 4 and you could actually tell exactly what everything was...and of course there was a horse in it :) I have been drawing and painting for 30 years now, but I also love sculpting. I am not taking any more regular painting commissions, I am concentrating on my original sculptures. My pieces are all done by hand in various mediums including oils, acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, and whatever else serves the needed purpose at the time. I start with a few coats of sandable grey primer to smooth the surface, then after that cures I spray white primer over it so I can get true rich color when I paint. I do not apply gesso with a brush as a primer because it can leave brush strokes in the finished piece. My horses are nice and smooth. I paint mainly with oils and pastels, applying layer upon layer of color for depth, richness, and vibrancy, but most of all...Realism. Painting Books Are Closed as of September 2008 |
