Progression on a painting, Spirited Journey Gift of Love Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Progress of Spirited Journey -Gift of Love
30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD


The process above was going from the primed acrylic canvas to find the motion or energy behind the horse for this horse painting. Again this is a similar paint to a horse from last year as a gift of love for someone that loved that original painting. The challenge is always to capture a new spirit with a different approach so you are witnessing a different way to get to the end... second layering of acrylic and then the oils come out on the bottom images... with a palette knife and NO IMPASTO to dilute the paint.  Yes it takes many many more tubes to do this, but the end effect is worth it.
