Cast Painting


















This is a cast painting that I worked on last year at Kamille Corry's studio. I feel like I learned a lot about oil painting and how to finish a painting over a long period of time. Most of my oil paintings have just been studies done in one sitting.

I also gained an appreciation of ancient Greek sculptors. It was pretty tedious painting just this guy's head. I can't imagine how long it would have taken them to sculpt the whole thing.

This is beautiful. I can’t believe it is painted. I just might need to try this whole painting thing one day.

Nathan Lindsay said...

They thought it was taking too long to sculpt as well...which is why they left the hands and arms off.

Your painting is amazing.

Wow, Dave. Just looking at this again for like the tenth time, and marveling at the attention to lighting and color.

It looks like the model was feeling the tedium too.

I think these are incredible. I would love to have one (hint hint approaching birthday).
