Painting an Autumn Fairy – Lindsey Cormier Art

Posted by admin on December 26th, 2009 and filed under artist prints | 25 Comments »

Fast motion video of me painting “Embracing Autumn.” This painting actually took about 15 hours to complete so I only recorded bits and pieces.

Note: Sorry, this isn’t a tutorial video. I just recorded myself painting with a low quality camera. Maybe I will do some tutorials in the future when I have some free time.

The finished painting can be seen here:

    The skin color changed because I re-painted it. I didn’t like the way I painted it the first time. I didn’t include that part in the video so it just jumps.
    It took me 10-15 hours because I’m a perfectionist. I repaint sections all the time so it probably takes me twice as long compared to someone who is satisfied with their first brush strokes. The paints I use dry almost instantly so drying time’s not an issue.

    between 2;03 and 2;04 her skin color changed, I assume it was the light? I like your technique how you make a circle and make the face.Thats the right way :) 10-15 hours? I know its a lof of work because you have to wait to dry.

    Thanks! I used acrylic paints on canvas for this one. I paint in many layers, starting with dark colors going to light colors. Each layer is a little bit lighter in value than the layer beneath it. I use a “dry brush” technique for blending (using a dry brush with a little paint and then scrubbing it into the surface.) Hope that answers your question :)

    that was really awesome, but what kind of technique did you use?? is that oil? or acrylic??

    Probably about 10-15 hours. I didn’t keep track but I spent a few days working on it off and on. This video only shows snippets of me working on it.
