Oil Painting Demo Video

I made my first demo video, you can watch the painting process sped up.
The original footage was about 8 gig and I haven't found a way to compress it and maintain the HD quality but this isnt too bad for a first try.

Here is the finished painting

I should be doing another one soon !

Bernice and Jack Painting Process

I recently finished a portrait of my great grandparents from a black and white photograph from the 1920's.

This is the photograph

The sketch for the painting

The underpainting in sepia tones done with raw umber and white

And finally, the finished color painting. 22x28 oil on canvas

Painting Process

This one is still untitled at the moment. Below are a few pics of the process. It's 24" x 36" oil on canvas.

This is after the first layers of color have been added. 

Then some more layering on the face

Then redefining the shapes and adding in the background

And this is the finished work

New Portrait

People ask me if I do portraits pretty often so I thought I would share one I recently finished .

Pavi

Blue Velvet

I just finished this one up.

It's 24in by 48in oil on canvas.

Blue Valkyrie

This one is finally done! It's 36' by 48" the largest I have done so far. It took quite awhile to finish but I am happy with how it turned out.

Venus

Just finished up another large painting, 24x48 inches, inspired by the Greek goddess Venus.
I wanted to do my own interpretation inspired by the classical works by Botticelli and Bouguereau.

It is listed in my Etsy shop.
