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.

Most of the work on this painting was done before I ever

dipped a brush into the paint.  It actually took me

a couple of days to get the set up right. 

Then I did about ten preliminary black and white

sketches, trying to simplify each time down to

three values. 

 By the time I got to

the actual painting things went pretty smoothly:)

I painted it in one day, then let it dry a  bit

and added the finishing touches the next day.

That's the way I like to work the best, 

looking at it the following day to get a fresh perspective.
