Mutual Support – painting from the depths of hell

March 4th, 2010 | Posted by Michelle Grant

this piece was doomed from the get go…firstly it was revisited from a photo i had already used for a painting i did in all sepia tones. the original sepia painting was my favourite painting. a client wanted it, so i sold it…it went bad from there and now there is bad blood between the client and myself. a huge bad taste in my mouth. so somehow thinking i could revisit this photo, i tried again and only in colour this time and the horses would have more wind blown manes and stormy skies…sounds good no? there is an old saying i believe fits for everyday.
“plan your day, don’t plan the outcome”
or in this case…plan the painting, don’t plan the outcome….sheesh….understatement!!!
from the get go it was a struggle from the under painting being ‘washed’ off by the glaze of transparent red iron oxide to the palette seemingly changing from day to day. i had a buyer for this piece. it was yet to be finished and yet a client wanted it…just finish it and money was mine to be had!!
if ANYTHING was to be learned from this piece, it was this very important thing for me. an ‘aha’ moment…i am NOT motivated by money. there it was a huge amount of money dangling before me. the painting 2/3 done and the moment the money was there, the expectation, the pressure was on….i froze!!!
after 6 months of being frozen, the client withdrew his offer…now i was free!! free to finish when i wanted! so struggling along, and with the intent to get it done for the stampede western art show in july which i was juried into, desperate as usual for inventory, i abandoned it..um i mean finished it!!!
…whew sure was hot down there in the depths of hell…or was that a hot flash?!

riding a rhino in the rockies

August 17th, 2009 | Posted by Michelle Grant

noticed a voice mail on my phone from my friend Sue. amazingly, she was on holidays and was at home working on a painting of a reining horse…normally this time of year, Sue is embroiled in the throes of horse show madness at spruce meadows where she works. huh i thought…so i phoned her. the conversation went something like this…

what ya doin?…
painting…what you doin?…
thinking i need to come out and paint plein aire at your place…ya in?…
oh yeah, I’m in!

so i tossed my french easel, some canvases, brushes and various other bits of painting stuff into the back of the Dirty White Hoe (the Tahoe) with the hopes of attempting to paint the great outdoors. now Sue and Garth live in a wonderful log house in the east slopes of the Rockie mountains west of Calgary. the possibilities for wonderful landscape painting are limitless there…the vistas ridiculously hard for neophyte pleine aire painters such as ourselves..sue even more so than i. i have dabbling the this ’sport’ a few times, but pale in comparison to others who excel in plein aire painting in this area, of the likes of Doug Swinton. http://dougswinton.com/
the rhino is an amazing beast. capable of taking us and our supplies out to premo painting sites, and offer us some protection or at least a quick escape from the mother grizzly that been sighted the day before, having killed one of the neighbour’s horses to feed her two cubs….eep! it offered little comfort for speed, one’s only hope that the noise from the rhino might afford some ’spooking’ ability, cuz it sure couldn’t outrun a grizzly bear…that i know…
we painted for an hour…a wonderful hour out in the most glorious of landscapes, one which i was feebly trying to capture on canvas. whatever. i had a beer, the company with sue was brilliant, and we were quite smug in the fact that we had made the effort, and we were out!! the paintings kinda sucked, but no matter…we did it.

…we zoomed the rhino back to the log house, where Garth had so thoughtfully BBQ’d us some t bone steaks and potatoes! after supper allowed for some story telling by Garth, a celebrated documentary film maker…tales of dysentery and Japanese hotels….so funny, i laughed so hard i could hardly breathe. for such a serious documentary maker and journalist, his talents could very easily swing over to the comedic side of combat. such a brilliant story teller!!

Gridlocked

April 20th, 2009 | Posted by Michelle Grant

Finished this little painting today! It is small, 9 X 12″ oil on canvas and took me about 20+ hours to complete. I’m happy I’m finished another one for my body of work for the Stampede Artist Studios show in July!

The horses in this painting were the Calgary Stampede roughstock that were part of the 2005 Alberta Centennial horse drive. The herd was driven into the village of Hussar and circled in the middle of main street. Over 200 horses, a living whirling, sweating, wild eyed carousel! I had the good fortune to be able to stand in the back of an obliging rancher’s 3/4 ton truck to get the awesome reference photos I used for this piece.

It is my hope that the photos will speak for themselves as far as the progression of the painting goes. I don’t really want to spend the time talking about each step individually…I think my time is better spent working on the painting part. So study them closely, compare and enjoy!

I did corrections on the negative spaces in the far background a few times to get it where I wanted it. I used toned down, grayed down colours and looser brushwork for the horses in the distance to imply space. I did quite abit of dry brushing on the main bay horse to bring up the detail and to soften the features of his face. His eye was corrected a couple of times with drying time between each correction. Being the focal point, he is more detailed than the rest of the herd.

I used Burnt Umber + French Ultramarine for the blacks, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Orange, a tiny bit of Cadmium Yellow Pale, Naples Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Cerulean Blue and Titanium White. I used a tiny bit of linseed oil for the fine detail, and used Res N Gel for the bulk of the painting when it was needed to work wet onto wet.

Enjoy!

All Dun…er I mean All Done.

March 18th, 2009 | Posted by Michelle Grant

So happy to have finished this piece in a week and at how well it turned out. Especially pleased with how well the mane turned out, and of course that FACE! I wanted to capture that relaxed but abit on the tense side expression. This horse was in a pen at the Stampede Rodeo, and he and his pen mate were resting in the afternoon sun, both very aware of their surroundings. Not too worried, yet…but the tension is apparent in the tightness of the lips and nostril. It may not be visible on the monitor, but the eye is actually looking at the viewer.

Once the face was dry I dry brushed in a bluish violet, very light in tone into the face to pull out the highlights. Try as I might, struggle that I do with working wet into wet, I still resort to my *drawing* techniques with my paintings. I really need to forget trying to paint like someone else, and just work with what’s best for me. I think this topic can be a blog all on its own…Hmmmm?

I am going to call this one “Almost Dun”, because it is a portrait of a Buckskin, not to be mistaken for a Dun, which sports a dorsal stripe down the spine. So this horse is Almost a Dun. Time for some varnish, and a frame. Woohoo!

Anyhow, I can now shout those two favourite little words and do a little celebration…”I’M DONE!”

On the easel

March 16th, 2009 | Posted by Michelle Grant

The top photograph is the painting on my easel, with the two reference photos taped up next to the painting. The smaller reference photo on the upper left, is taped off to the same proportions as the painting. I tend to get *lost* in my reference if I don’t do this, and I find it incredibly helpful to do this as my eye won’t needlessly wander around. This smaller photo is also redder in colour than the larger one on the lower right hand side, and it is this one that I used the most. The larger one allowed me to see some details, that the smaller one didn’t.

I painted in the horse’s back, leaving the brushwork looser, and not as detailed as the face. This was painted wet into wet. However more detail in the face, including the wrinkles behind the jaw, are worked in over dry paint, allowing for more control. Try as I might, I find it really hard to work a painting start to finish while it is all wet. It gets outta control way too easily. I prefer to leave it when it starts to look good and let it dry. Rarely, I get it right the first time around, and I don’t need to go back into it to correct problem areas. I have learned to be patient, stop just before things get out of control and let it dry.

The second photo shows the horse’s face more detailed around the muzzle, the *varnish* marking on his face is toned down considerably with some dry brushing technique. The eye has been dealt with more, making it almost complete. The shadowed part of the mane has also been blocked in over top the reddish underpainting.

I just LOVE the ears on this horse! I am so proud of those ears, the way I handled the transistion from sunlit to shadowed areas…YEAH!!

Phase two of Almost Dun

March 11th, 2009 | Posted by Michelle Grant

In this next step, I have blocked in the darkest tones, and mid-tones beside one another on the muzzle, under the jaw and cheek. I used a darker mixture of the payne’s gray and burnt sienna, and for the mid-tone lightened it with some of the perm. rose, blue and some white. I may have used a tad of the raw sienna…unfortunately I don’t remember exactly what I did…I just mess around with the colours on my palette until I get what I want. I’m not afraid to try mixing various combinations of colour and then putting on the canvas. If its totally gross, I wipe it off.

With the two tones painted next to one another, I then clean the brush I’m using and scribble the two together, at right angles to the original brush strokes. Then if I want a smoother transistion still, I’ll go at it again, blending at a right angle to those strokes. I like to work my paint from light to dark, or dark to light. I don’t paint back and forth into the different tones, as it can result in mud.

Working into the face more, I started to use the lighter colours like the Naples yellow, raw sienna, and light blue, blending as I go. Buckskins can have some greenish weird colours happening and I constantly had to cross reference my photos to be sure I was on track. This particular horse, has some masking on his face, which created a funny looking dark streak across his cheek, but I couldn’t *fix* it at this point. I try to be patient, and not overwork the paint. I let it dry most times, and clean thing up later with glazing or dry brushing or just painting out the offending area.

Its really a treat to see the little flashes of the warm colour peek out, that I toned in at the underpainting stage.

“Almost Dun”

March 9th, 2009 | Posted by Michelle Grant

Just in case no one noticed, it has been sometime since I’ve posted anything on this blog. Not like I haven’t been working on artwork. I have been. I just haven’t had the mental energy to want to write it down. This painting was actually started about two years ago and has been collecting dust in the closet. It is a portrait of two buckskin bucking horses, in a holding pen at the Calgary Stampede rodeo. Once I got around to digging it outta the closet and get back to it, I was surprised that it only took me a week to finish it. It just seems to have *painted* itself.

I started with an under painting of Burnt Umber, Underpainting White and thinner on a stretched 12 X14″ Gotrick canvas, and once it was dry, I stained the whole canvas with a thinned down wash of Transparent Red Oxide oil paint. This ground gives the painting a wonderful glow, and little snippets of this colour shine through the brushstrokes that follow . The underbelly of the horse in behind has been started. The photo shows the colour to be a greener than it really is.

The colours used in my palette included, Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Orange, Naples Yellow, Naples Yellow Pale, Permanent Rose, Cerulean Blue, and Paynes Gray.

Not Done Enough

January 9th, 2009 | Posted by Michelle Grant

So many hours into this one! And I’m still not done. My neck and back are *done*…stiff and sore. My massage therapist Sarah is going to kill me! My enthusiasm for working on it is *done* for today. I have been working hard to get this one finished in time for the Calgary Stampede art show deadline tomorrow. I am so tired I am incapable of making anymore marks on it or consider any changes. I’m going to have to block in the grass tomorrow and do a few required touchups to adjust some of the values. I won’t have time to actually *finish* the piece, but I will get the grass looking done, then I’ll photograph it for my submission for the jury process for the show. This piece is probably more *done* than most artists would have done. Once it is photographed, I’m putting it away for awhile before officially deeming it done.

Running Paints

December 21st, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

I find great comfort in returning to graphite! It is a painstaking medium with fewer financial returns for the efforts put into each piece, and that’s why I have shied from it that the last while. I suppose I could become looser, but I really enjoy building up the layers of tone, making the piece look photographic in appearance. Note I said photographic in *appearance* from a distance, but upon closer inspection, one can detect my mark making. Scribbles, dashes, strokes, cross hatching and the scumblings of a blending stub all make up the guts of one of my drawings.

This particular piece, like many others around here, makes it appearance onto the drawing table sporatically. Though I love the medium, it is really hard on my physical well being to draw for endless hours. Pain and numbness in my neck and fingers are the order of the day if I push it. In an effort to alleviate these problems I have tried drawing on an easel with lukewarm enthusiasm. Frustation sets in when I can’t get the marks I want when working in this position.

So, I bit the bullet, and said “F… it”, I’m going back to the way it works for me! I make concerted efforts to listen to my body though, and with the voice of my massage therapist’s harsh words ringing in my ears, I pace myself now. The concern for the monetary returns are gone…I just LOVE working in the medium! I am running with the enthusiasm built on the high of winning First Place in the Ex Arte Equinus drawing category. Runnin’ like the Paints in the piece!

Done the Dawg!!

December 13th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

Those two little words that I crave…I’M DONE!!

Having said that, this morning as soon as I got up, before showering, with coffee in hand, I ended up tweeking the Dawg’s ear, and then some of the grass under her ear…all of this AFTER I had signed the painting and deemed it done.

Thus poses the question, is a painting ever ‘done’ or ‘finished’? I think not. Paintings and drawings are merely abandoned. This is not to suggest for a moment that a painting is given up on, or that is is somehow inferior, but that there is always something a painting demands to be tweeked. Each painting ‘finished’ is merely a teacher at that particular time in the artist’s journey of creating. An artist’s best teacher is her last piece of art.

I know when I getting close to finishing or abandoning a painting. My view of it becomes distorted somehow, and I start to ’see’ the piece become cartoon-like in my mind’s eye. My creative mind is tired of looking at it…there comes that point in my process when I start to wipe off more paint than I leave on the surface. Those marks that are removed no longer enhance the piece as a whole, therefore, they are removed. This is when I know I am nearing the finish line.

So, as I throw myself across the finish line on this painting, I am already thinking of the next one to put on the easel or send to Warner Bros….

Ex Arte Equinus ll

December 10th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

Received news yesterday that my drawing “Good Girl” was awarded FIRST PLACE in the Drawing Category, in the Horse Art Magazine’s Ex Arte Equinus ll art competition!

Judge Sheona Hamilton-Grant (no relation) of Belgium, chose this graphite drawing for First Place over the many fantastic drawing entries. Sheona’s graphite work is exquisite, and I greatly admire her graphite artwork as well as her opinion. Not only can this talented woman draw with ease, she has great skill with expressing her thoughts on paper. I on the other hand, as least at this moment, am at a loss for words. So I am going to share her thoughts and comments on Good Girl.

“The chosen subjects together with the composition create a moment of mutual trust and understanding. The impeccable graphite work and honest use of light convey a mood of realism that not only draws the viewers in but gets them to entirely believe in what they see.A beautiful piece of narrative art, rendered with intense love, detailed knowledge and strong conviction.The artist has quite simply been able to take us beyond what we see into what we feel.”

Thank you Sheona!

Thank you Juliet and Lyne for all the hard work putting together this incredible opportunity for equine artists from around the globe!

Grass, grass and more grass!

December 8th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

Painting grass, grass and more grass…working on the tangled *mess* of grass on the right today. One would think this mundane task to be an easy one. Not! It is a constant stream of decisions, working out which blade overlaps the other, and which is darker or lighter. Not happy with how some of the blades turned out, I quickly washed them off with a small sponge before they could dry and set up. Funny how a simple thing like a blade of grass can be screwed up!

I can see where I want to place more blades, and where to fix some of the others, but I am too tired and my neck hurts too much to fix them now. I learned a long time ago that too many mistakes are made when I’m tired, and its just not worth it to continue. Best to call it a night.

I decided to use my new Nikon D80 to shoot this photo of the Work In Progress. I am so impressed to see how much of a difference there is in image quality from my little old crap digital camera to this higher end one….*duh*! Why didn’t I use it before?! Double Duh!

Sick as a Dawg

December 5th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

Fever, sore throat, fatigue, aches, runny nose, all since Monday, I’ve been sick as a Dawg. Amazingly, in spite of all these setbacks, I was able to work on the painting! Not as vigorously as I would have liked, but I did make progress.

Working on the fur was such fun. Sweeping brushstrokes with a round brush, coupled with short quick strokes of a old beat up bright brush, her coat took on shape and dimension. When painting fur it is imperative to follow the whorls, and how the hair lays on the body of the animal. If I didn’t like the colour of the hair, thin washes of Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Sienna and Payne’s Gray mixed in with the Matte Medium, adjusted it. I still have some issues about how light the hair should be, as acrylics dry darker, and values can be tough to gauge sometimes.

Since the last post, her eyes and face have really taken on her personality. I am really pleased with her cute little mug!!

Still don’t like that front leg on the right hand side…gonna cover it with grass!! I have decided to leave my issues with the values of the fur, and wait until I have resolved the grasses. Their relationship with the values of the Dawg will help me decide if I need to lighten the fur more or not. Not the best photograph of the painting. The lighting is bad. To see the image up close, just click on the image and it will open in a new window and much larger.

Oh well…where’s my kleenex?

Detailing the Dawg

November 25th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

What fun, finally getting to the detailing of the dawg! This is the fun part! Using a bright brush I started feathering in the hair on her face, bringing up the detail with lighter and lighter shades of paynes grey, cerulean blue, burnt sienna and white. A small round brush was used to start bringing out the hair detail around the eyes. Matte medium was used as a barrier coat to protect some the detail in the event I have to scrub out mistakes. Some corrections were made on the shapes in her face, especially along the left hand jawline.

Lightening the colours further, the fur along her shoulder and chest was started with a round brush to get the sweep and direction of the hair. Acrylics are so awesome for this kind of work! It dries so fast, I can get right back into it without it smudging like an oil would. One has to be rather patient with oils I have discovered. Acrylics are definately for the artist with short attention spans, not unlike myself!

Still have to resolve some issues with the right leg, and some other things, but they will be dealt with as I go. Right now, my neck is tight, a nerve is pinching and I’m becoming irritable because I’m getting some referral pain in my front teeth of all things…better to stop than mess up all the great work so far.

Grass can be a pain in the….!?

November 20th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

One would think grass would be an easy thing to paint. A bunch of green straight lines, scribbled with impunity. Wrong! Grass has a rhythm to it, one that can be a difficult one to tap into if the artist has not painted it for awhile, like ME! Without this rhythm, and sense of randomness, painting wild grasses looks contrived and stiff. Having some sense of control when painting something like wild grass, yet still have it look random and natural can be a pain in the …grass!!

I found myself *erasing* some of the blades of grass on numerous occasions and even flipping the painting upside down, or on its side to capture the flow of it with my brushstrokes. It seems to have worked so far. Now to tackle the dog again, and let the grass rest for abit.

In The Mood

November 17th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

Appropriate that painting the snow was the order of the day for this painting. Woke up to lots of the *white stuff* outside, putting me in the mood so to speak.

I used mixtures of a tiny bit of burnt sienna, with cerulean blue, paynes gray, white and some pthalo blue to try and capture the texture of the snow. In the process of painting the snow, I had to paint over the grass that I had indicated in the underpainting. Not a problem though, as I can still see where most of those brushstrokes are. The grass had to be started on the right hand side, using burnt sienna, raw sienna, naples and some paynes gray. This grass needed to be well underway, as the dog’s body is overlapping it. I try to plan the spacial planes before actually applying paint.

Misty’s face, ears and chest were also worked on during today as well. I’m at that horrible stage of nothing being resolved with lots of painting still to come before anything looks remotely finished. Just lots of brushstrokes, one after the other, painting whether I’m in the mood, or not.

Change of Pace – Misty

November 15th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

On to another commission. this one is of a German Wire Hair pointer pup, Misty. Like all my other commissions a looming deadline, is needed to boot me to the easel and get to work. Sorely in need of a change, like so many other aspects of my life, this piece was begging to be done in acrylics and not my usual oils. The last acrylic to sit on my easel was Spruce Baby (see sidebar for image) I had forgotten how nice it can be to work in acrylic. the fast drying time, and flexible application techniques is a huge attraction at this point. I cannot afford to be waiting for it to dry between applications not wanting to leave it to the last minute. Christmas IS coming!

This one is on a 12 X 16″ MDF panel gessoed with about 3 coats of Daniel Smith gray gesso. I had forgotten how much I love this surface. Originally I thought the panel was an inch too wide for the drawing, so left the right hand edge blank so a carpenter friend could cut it off for me. after much consideration, it was decided it best to leave it alone, so I painted in the undertones of the grass right to the edge.

I am using matte medium on this one to stabilize the transparent glazes. In the past I used gloss medium. I’m not sure what motivated me to switch to matte, it just seems right this time. Payne’s gray is the colour of choice for the under painting. The plan is to use a very limited grayed down palette of Payne’s gray, burnt sienna, titanium white and raw sienna with some Naples yellow thrown in the mix.

A Double Header

November 9th, 2008 | Posted by Michelle Grant

The Wolfe Cabin is done and I’m doin’ the happy dance! One more commission out of the way. One step closer to autonomy and freedom to paint what I want. Now to let it dry, varnish it, photograph it, frame it and its a done deal. Contact the client, and its off to a new home.

Momentum rolling, I also delivered a different painting to another client who had paid me an advance in 2007 for a painting. More specifically, *the painting* I wanted to keep for myself. I had total freedom, no requirements, no expectations, no deadline. In the beginning I struggled with this idea of no restrictions. Then one day as I was laying on my couch looking up at a painting I had been reluctant to sell, it became clear that it was the *one* that he must have. It fit all the criteria. It was the right size, right price range, and it was one I wanted for myself.

I delivered it last night, filled with some trepidation. What if he didn’t like it? What if it wasn’t what he expected? I was secretly hoping he didn’t want it, then I could keep it above my couch for me to selfishly admire. He loved it! We celebrated the hanging of “Mutual Support” with a few drinks, and much talk about the creative spirit that musicians and visual artists share. It felt good to let go of this one.

Upon leaving I was feeling a bit sad, and asked that he give my *favourite* a good home. He promised he would. Driving home, the sadness turned to a feeling of release, and joy. My favourite painting was hanging in a new home over a lovely fireplace, and it was then I felt great!! A double header on the art front! On to the next one to liberate me.
