A new painting.

This is a new painting for an upcoming slot in an exhibition I managed to blag!

Here are the stages in which the painting was built up.

Enjoy and if you are local to London at all, please come down and see the show :D

The first step - pencil outline.

Some rough colours added to guide shading and detailing.

Starting from the eyes and working outwards.

Starting to add in smaller details now like the eyelashes.

Bit of work done on the background and shoulders.

Shading, and starting on the flowers - not my favourite part!

Antlers being painted but still having trouble with the flowers.

Added highlights and figured out how to make the flowers look nice. At last.

FINISHED! Extra little details done and signed.

Comparrisson between the original photo I took and the finished painting.

And here's that link again for you ;)
