18 x 24 oil on stretched canvas
This is a VERY rough block-in of my son with his caddy at St. Andrews. I have been posting unfinished paintings lately because I haven't been doing as many small ones and these just take longer. To show that I haven't been totally idle, I'm posting this today. I already see issues with it and even with the canvas. I do not like stretched canvases but don't really have an alternative for the larger or odd sizes. Also some canvas panels are too absorbent. If I was a plan-ahead kind of person, I would have some pre-primed but that's not me. I just jump in and start painting...... Hopefully I can get the caddy blocked in during the next session.
This is looking fantastic! Very interesting to see the process and look forward to the finished painting. I don't like stretched canvas either. I have nearly always worked on hardboard panels.
ReplyDeleteA great beginning, Wanda! Is your son playing in the British Open?
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. He played college golf but now plays strictly for pleasure. This was from a photo when he was there a couple of years ago with my husband.
