A New Commission

 


The Process of a Commission

How does it all start?


As I have discussed in the prior blog, it starts with the grid when going big.


Taking the time to get the drawing as close to correct as perfect.
(Fun Fact: It never is!)


Start bringing in the colour. 
For this piece there is a dark background, so that is where I started.


Starting to bring in the shapes through colour.
For the first layer, applying the main basics of colour, 
I still keep making sure that the drawing stays true.

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements.  "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!

Iris (19-14)

Another iris for the collection. This is a part of the spring collection that I am working on. I kept the background simple so the focus was on the main attraction, the bloom. The purple is a deep variation of colour and the top of the bloom is a gauzy white.  This artwork could work in any room. It's small size allows for it to be a part of a larger compilation or in smaller spaces such as hallways, kitchen, or bathrooms. Iris (19-14) 6" by 6" oil on canvas board Click to buy with Paypal
