I am currently working hard to finish an 18 X 24 painting called the "Antidote" for an up coming show. Today, I thought it would be fun to post some photos of the work-in-progress.
As you can see, I've got quite a ways to go.
A detail of the radish-head guy.
Here is the original sketch.
This next photo is a really wacky part of my process. In order to transfer my sketch to the canvas, I scan the drawing into Photoshop, enlarge it to the size of my canvas, then chop it into small pieces--my printer only prints 8.5 X 11-- which I then print out and reassemble. The end result is a pretty dumb looking poster. With a piece of graphite transfer paper between the canvas and my printed out drawing, I trace over all the key lines and bingo! my canvas is all ready to paint. By-the-way my printer prints everything in beautiful rose color when it starts to run out of ink.
...and here I am hard at work.
