Here's a quick video that shows the painting sequence for an illustration in Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara. In the scene, Arthur Denison meets a retired musical conductor, surrounded by dinosaurs and musical instruments.

The drawing is pencil on heavyweight illustration board
, sealed with matte fluid medium
. Over the drawing, I start by lightly washing transparent oil paint, and then paint area by area, making sure I get the major faces and the statement of light the way I want them early on.

Great to see the progression of this work. Two questions; were both the medium and oil paint thinned to achieve transparency? If so, what did you use to thin the paint?
ReplyDeleteSteve, I used turpentine and Liquin to thin the paint on the first wash-in, and then used the paint pretty much from the tube for the rest of the painting.
