Stage by stage elephant painting by Frances Whitman
My latest painting, a 40 x 60 inches oil painting of 6 elephants entitled 'Stragglers' is now completed.
Below you can see the different stages...........

|
|
Above I have now roughly painted all 6 elephants and I am looking forward to putting in the background, which will be the next stage of the painting ..........

|
|

|

Above The main elephant which will be the focus of the painting is now roughly painted in, 5 to go!

Above I have painted the canvas with this vivid orange background to give an underlying warmth and to stop any of the white canvas showing through the finished painting. I have also at this stage drawn in a rough outline of the 6 elephants and am now painting on a thin layer of colour to map out the shadows and highlights.
