A few years ago, I completed a commissioned painting for a good friend of mine, Victor Wilson. He wanted a low country scene including a shrimp boat and the Charleston Light House. To narrow his idea into reality, I did several color sketches. All the sketches are below. The sketch above was the one he selected to proceed further with.
Above is the black and white canvas study.
Then I painted a small color canvas study, above.
Above is the final painting, which was very large, over five
feet in width. Below are the watercolor sketches that began the process. I donated these to the
University of Georgia Alumni club. They auctioned them off at a fundraiser.
The painting below is pure color; no value or black used.
Below is the most traditional drawing. Color pencil o paper.
