Let's get "Painterly"!


It's time to use what I learned at the Clayton Beck workshop. I took Clayton's workshop to improve on "being painterly". My younger years were spent doing a lot of drafting. My preferred way to paint emphasizes exactness and I love that, but I've wanted to get more freedom in my painting. I feel as though I'm getting there with this painting. Clayton said to paint with the biggest brush possible to do a task. This small painting, less than one square foot, has been done so far with really big brushes. It is very close to being finished. It will be for sale in the fall at a big show in Houston. I'll let everyone know where, when, how much when the time arrives. Comments?

About Me

My photo
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. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
