Golden may be a study for a larger painting of the same subject. When cropping from the photo reference, I was confident of my square composition, but unsure of what size would work best for this image. So I started small, with a 6 1/2" square, to fit one of the leftover gold floater frames I have. But I might also do this one larger. I like the composition and colors. I've used some touches of iridescent golds and greens in this, which don't reproduce well on screen.
Here's my photo and beginning drawing.
Really enjoy this Golden calf! Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI agree...make a large one!
Really nice-like the colors of the shadows and the texture of the whole painting.
