Portrait of Buck: Post I


Many people have asked me, how do you paint? What is the process? So I am going to take this new commission and walk through it for those who might be interested. Step by Step. The first move forward is to gesso a canvas.




The next step is to tone the canvas. Toning is simply taking a mid
value and placing it all over the canvas so that there is no
outstanding bright or dark to distract or possibly cause you to put a wrong value down as the portrait is painted. Value is the brightness or darkness of a color.
