Fox Hunt in the Flemish Style

[Lori Ippolito]

Thought I'd post what I'm working on..a painting based on a photo from Marily on Paint my Photo.

I'll put up the series of steps from drawing through where I am at present..color layer..working on enriching the colors ad details & debating re how detailed i should get with the dogs & riders..any thoughts/comments/critiques are most welcome!!

No way did I want to attempt ALL of those dogs, so Irevised a bit..below is my umber layer where I establish the drawings & values

below..beginning the dead layer (gray layer, grisaille)

dead layer completed..kind of cool..like a B&W photo
