The final session is the most satisfying. Everything comes together to create an inviting winter scene. I add darks where necessary and model the snow with light and dark tones to create contour and light and shadow. The edge of a palette knife is used to simply suggest wire on the fence posts. White highlights are one of the last things I do and these help to guide the viewer's eye to specific areas in the painting. I embellish the coats of the horses and add final details to the harness. The last thing to do is add a signature! Fini.
The Art of Richard De Wolfe is intended to show how I make my art, things that interest me creatively, and what I am working on at the moment. If what you find here interests you, please 'bookmark me', come back often and visit my Gallery, too!
