On My Easel by Artist Dan Roberge
Here are a few photos of the progression from my initial sketch on the canvas to my finished oil painting. Notice my reference material at the left. I took a lot of photos of horses in fields, then in Adobe Photoshop I blended the images together on different layers until I liked the composition. I then printed it out.
Stage 1: sketch on canvas
Stage 2: block in and add palette colors
Stage 3: a bit more detail on this layer
Final: the big jump with all the details
All done. I really loved painting those birch trees!
