Oil Painting Of An Elephant: Step 3
Welcome to Step 3 of Oil Painting of an Elephant.
There are links to the previous steps below.
In this step, I have applied a thin glaze of cadmium red deep hue all over the entire painting. This makes it appear reddish.
For the lighter areas, I wiped off some paint with a rag. This lets the 1st layer of paint which I applied in Step 2 to show through creating the effect of light.
You can see how the monochrome under-painting I did in Step 1 is adding form and structure to the work.
For the tusks I have left it unpainted, thus the whiteness of the canvas makes them stand out remarkably.
I have also started work on the sky, background and foreground.
For the sky, I used Titanium white and cerulean blue.
For the shrubs in the background, I have used Sap green with Prussian blue (for the darker parts).
I blended it in a bit into the sky to create a distant effect and soften the edges. Thus the Titanium white and cerulean blue of the sky also appear in the shrubs.
For the foreground, I have used Sap green, Cadmium yellow and Titanium white.
To create the effect of distance I made the foreground lighter in the distance.
I have kept everything loose because I want the focus to be on the elephant.

This is research addressing questions about protected characteristics with honesty and transparency. The aim was to produce an equality and diversity factsheet that would help to inform Wessex Appraisal Services. We know that the healthcare profession tends to attract diversity and the findings from this research show doctors in Dorset and Hampshire are more ethnically diverse (23%) compared to the population (4.4%) as well as Nationally (13%). We hope that through these results doctors would be able to recognise they have shared characteristics thus they are not alone.
A Painting surface or support is the surface on which paint is applied and it depends on the kind of painting media (i: e paint) you have chosen to use. There are different types of painting surfaces or supports that can be used for painting e: g canvas, hard board, paper or even a wall.
Acrylic paint is very beautiful but can be very annoying and frustrating to use. Somehow when I was starting off in my world of painting I thought acrylic paint could be applied to any surface (I do not know where I got that notion!), but I soon discovered it is not true.
Watercolour is a very clean medium to use. It is not as messy as Oil or Acrylic and there are no solvents to work with thus making it very safe and child friendly too.
This video was shot while in my painting studio creating a painting of a Field of Daisies with Acrylics. Hope you enjoy it.
This is a video showing the progress I made when I was creating an Acrylic painting of an African village. It was painted on canvas board.
This video shows me at work creating a Flower bed painting with Acrylics. This is a speed painting from the beginning to the end. Hope you enjoy it.
