Carving A Cowboy Bust – Part 10 – Paint!

Yes, I’m actually going to paint something!  Unfortunately, it will just be the head as the video camera ran out of juice just as we were getting ready to paint the body.  Not to worry!  both the body and the hat are pretty cut and dry compared to the work on the head so I think you will get the general idea of how I get the results I do by watching the color being applied to his noggin.

  5. Hi Lynn,

    I can't see it either even after joining Vimeo. Also, I didn't see any final carving on the crown of the hat.

    Shifty is looking real good.

    Take Care

  9. Lynn,
    I was able to view the video tonight. Great job on explaining why it is better to start painting, almost any artwork, with washes first. You can always add more paint or adjust the color then, but if it soaks in too far or is too heavy it may not come out. Also, good info on shading, because most people would think black or grey should be used.
    Thank you again for sharing your techniques. Please do not stop.
