New painting

I am working on a new painting. I presume that some of you already know this piece as a drawing,  which I posted some time ago. However, I never showed this underpainting. It is a private commission titled “The Giants are coming” or “Svjatogor – The Protector of the Mountains”

Oil on canvas, 70 X 100 cm.

  2. Looking really good! Can't wait to see this one develop. Why canvas this time? Bored with the board? Do you have a preference?

    1. Mushindo - I chose for canvas this time because of the size of the painting. Canvas is lighter than a wooden board, which makes it physically easier for me to handle this piece. During the process of painting, I often turn the painting upside-down. Besides, I indeed got a little bored with the board :-)

  3. Very nice work.

    Main character's left knee is turned too much outward though.

  4. Your under paintings are beautiful, Mine are a mess. Of course I am not bad a cleaning up messes. At least on a painting.

    1. Bill – I think there are two types of artists: one who tries to create order and beauty out of chaos (mess); and one who came after the creation of order and beauty and tries to recreate them time and time again. Perhaps you belong to the first type, and I am closer to the second one.
