Getting ready...

It's been some time since I've worked on "Getting ready..." I had a problem with the tub...it's white, and white is a hard color to paint. Why? Because it's not white. I kept painting the tub too blue, but I think I got it right this time. I also had her legs too white and they are tanned. Next paint the tile floor, white with black grout. That will be fun. Then the wallpaper, towell, plumbing, table, and yellow rose from my garden.

Then I'll glaze the whole thing and paint it again.

The towell is white and the rose yellow. Are those the best colors? I can do any color.

My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog.
