The Big One – Part 13

We approach to the end.

I work now on the visible part of the belly at the right of the elephant. From conventional cracks on the  the top, folds down toward 3 directions while defining the volume of the belly. the cracks are gradually changing in folds. This is the hard part of the work.

The Big One – Part 12

After a several months pause in the serie of posts related to the making of “The Big One”, I come back on air and post the new steps until the final.

As a reminder, “The Big One” is an oil painting of 2.50 meters high and 2 meters wide, representing an elephant in full charge. This is the biggest painting I’ve ever done. Working during the weekend, it is now about a year since I started. I invite you to discover the earlier steps of the painting and small videos that I uploaded.

After the trunk and tusks, I had to do the legs and yhe body of the elephant. I applied a diluted juice that allows me to draw the large volumes (light and shadow) without the details of the cracks.

The Big One – Part 11

The trunk is finished, finally! I think that it was the longest part of the painting. I can now concentrate on the rest of the body of the elephant. But before that, I have two things to do: the tusks.

3D will revolutionize Art

On this subject, I had fun by reworking one of my paintings in stereoscopy. Stereoscopy is an old way to see in “3D” without special glasses.
