"Justin
Some behind the scenes sleuthing went into my latest commission off the easel. Justin, an Arab X gelding, is owned and loved by a recent university graduate. Her mother secretly arranged our photo-shoot, selected the studies and subsequently arranged a surprise presentation of the completed painting! This was a graduation gift to Una from her family. A feel good project all around, Justin’s owner was thrilled with her painting. Thanks Una, enjoy ALWAYS 🙂
Here is how the project evolved:
Sketch Study #1:
Oil Sketch Study of Justin, 8x10 oil on canvas
Study #2:
Alla Prima Oil Painting of Justin, 8x10 Oil on Canvas
The glow, unique pose and likeness in study #2 of Justin lead us to choosing this layout & palette for his final portrait. To be completed using several layers of glazes and smooth details. Here is the final product:
'Justin' Final, 14x18 Oil on Canvas
