"Jack Rabbit" - painted in the studio July 2007
The other day, this nice little Jackrabbit did me a favor and posed for me instead of running away...I thought I'd oblige him by painting his picture.
Day 1
I begin as usual, sketching loosely into my underpaint.
I get right down to business and work in my background elements, top to bottom, left to right, dark to light, back to front in a general sense...
Day 2
I try to have a lot of fun with this piece and keep things rather loose. Once I paint the hare, all I have to do is the foreground and I'll call it done...click here to see the finished piece!
