All In



All In  16 x 20  Oil on Canvas
I'm really getting into this gaming series. This one is
quite a bit larger and took me about four painting
sessions to compete. Yet it was a pure
pleasure to paint!
There are alot of details in a painting like this
but my goal was to keep it as loose as possible.
I think the key to keeping the painting as
direct as possible is to be as
accurate as possible with the drawing underneath
before any real painting is done.
Fortunately I really like to draw and find
it very soothing.

  2. Hi Cathy, I appreciate your comment. I didn't really intend for it to be so intricate, but it did turn out like that. Fortunately I found the chips really soothing to paint:) Not sure why, maybe because they were very straight forward and actually pretty simple.
