Haven't posted in a while. Life's been keeping me plenty busy. So here the progress on the Weiland painting. The face is the hardest part and usually takes the longest on the painting so the rest of the painting should move right along.
Back to the grunge paintings. This painting is going to be of Scott Weiland the lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots or STP. He has also done a few solo albums and was with the band Velvet Revolver. It took me forever to find the perfect reference material for the painting since every video or concert he's done there is some kind of different style going on. I used about 6 different reference photos to finally sketch this out.
Here is the finished painting. The painting is done in acrylic and the size is 24 x 36 inches. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I delivered the painting for the Children in its Landscape contest this afternoon at the Good Girl Art Gallery in Springfield, MO.
Here's the update on my painting in progress. I just finished painting the baby and should be able to finish the airplane and touch up some areas tomorrow.
I finally got off my ass and started painting again. I've got a serious addiction to Battlestar Galactica and a looming deadline of finishing this painting by March 14th. Stay tuned for more updates.
