Elmother- Progress of a Painting…

Posted by aaronpocock on

I’ve been working on this commission on and off for a while and thought it’d be nice to show the steps I take to create a painting. Using acrylics for this one.

1
The original sketch and digital painting. A client liked the painting enough to commission me to paint it traditionally, I thought acrylic would be the best medium to create a similar painting to the digital one…

Having enlarged and traced the sketch, I then begin the painting process, using watercolours at first…

I had a loooong day in the studio working on commissioned stuff today, consequently, my eye and brain were sufficiently tuned enough to work directly onto the paper using an old biro to draw this doodle in front of the telly this evening…

Work In Progress…

Posted by aaronpocock on

I have a lot of stuff happening right now. If you’ve seen any of my recent posts you’ll know I have an exhibition coming up. I’ve been absolutely inspired lately and am playing things by ear. I haven’t made a shortlist of art to exhibit yet so I’m frantically painting away to see which ones resonate the most with me. I started this one earlier this morning and have spent approx. 4 hours on it so far, the fact that I’ve done this much in such a short space of time leads me to conclude that I’ll probably be exhibiting this.

Spent a few hours on this one last night and a few minutes finishing it off this morning. Posted it up on Facebook and it sold within minutes. Isn’t the internet wonderful!
