| THE BLUES GUY, Oil on canvas, Click here for purchase info |
The 1st photo I took was after doing a first pass at his skin tones, facial features and hat.
I then added the sax
Then onto his clothing, always
paying attention to where the light is coming from.
More clothing added keeping the light and shadows in check
Then I had to go back in and correct the skin tones once the clothing was set.
I felt the back ground needed to show the light and shadow areas as well instead of what was in the original photo, as is shown below. This is a photo I took about 2 years ago and have been thinking about painting since then! Once I started it, it just flowed!
