Some stuff from Morroco ! (1 Viewer)

Me neither Andrew - never 'eard of it. But I think I once read Trevor Boyer works in this method - I could be wrong, I am occasionally ;)
 
Trevor Boyer does work like this from time to time, I remember an old magazine article on him. Though adding the colour didn't do much, it just gave some oystercatchers on black rocks some orange beaks against some grey waves. Nice picture though!

I'm to lazy to paint a whole piece in gray and then add the colour, just have to get it in there straight away, I must be a heathen!

Andy, I've just noticed that you are preparing a Bonelli's picture.
Because I'm very interested on this particular raptor, I would be very interested
to see the result!
But until then I'm still very impatient to see how the flying Sandgrouses becoming alive!

Hi Spizaetos,

Yes I am in the process of putting together a Bonelli's piece . On my trip
to Morroco I was fortunate enough to be able to go up in a small
plane over an area that had mountains to the NW of where we were.
as we past over the lower foot hills that gave way to open desert
a raptor passed beneath us on our right side.

I only had a fleating look at it as we pased over but I was able to look
down onto it. It only could have been one bird an Adult Bonelli's!
the White patch below the nape and between the
upper Scapulars was a big give away and its overall size and shape.

I was so chuffed . i vowed to do a piece using what i had seen
 
well guy's here is a small advance on the Sandgrouse . I will try and move
it along a bit quicker now. I got distracted by trying to tidy up the studio!

not being able to see the floor and wading up to my
ankles in references and artists Detritus!got to ware
a bit thin. And you think I'm Joking!!!

Anyway here's the attached Image

I just wonder how many folk have viewed this piece and simply allowed their jaws to drop open without leaving comment?
I'm going to do the same - almost.
Feckineck!
 
I've been going to route of expletives every time I see the next version -- gobsmackingly good! Finish, finish, finish!
