“Anatomy of a painting”
CHRIS KHOURY
My Inspiration.
A quick snapshot taken from the car. Not a very inspiring image however it does have some fundamentals going for it.
- The tree shapes are interesting
- The ghost mountain in the background provides depth and value
- The foreground leaves much to be desired – this will need some inspiration
A Quick Pen sketch
- Identifying a few values
- Resolving the boring foreground
- Creating a focal point
Activating the background and transferring the sketch.
Blocking in the distant landscape and the dark middleground values in the trees.
The Completed Painting.
I enjoy the freshness in the application of paint and the cool background colour peeping through and playing against the warm foreground colours. This creates a vibrant yet unifying element in the finished painting.
