The sign in the back says "A...Bat" Never noticed that. How perfect. :D

Hey all,

I started to block in Jose this morning, and here are the results:

As you can probably tell, the first layers of oil paint tend to be a bit transparent, so the drawing is still pretty visible under most of it. In his face, however, I've made 2 or 3 passes, so it had a bit more meat and form to it. In other words, it's a bit closer to being finished. Closer, but still not close.

So during these first stages, I'm just concentrating on getting down some basic color and value relationships, and filling up the entire canvas with a block-in. Detail isn't really concerning me at this point - that stuff all comes later.

Still MUCH to do. But in the meantime, if you have questions or comments, fire away!

Remarkable likeness of Bautista, even in the early stages!

This one is going to be sweet! Good choice of images, especially with the personal connection!

Funny how some think alike or at the same time! I was just wondering about this myself. :)

Hey all,

Sorry I'm only responding to this now - I just saw the replies for the first time this afternoon.

Anywho, I've been working a bit on Jose lately...well, moreso the crowd around him. At this point, I'm still just blocking in big shapes of color and value.

The goal is to cover as much of the canvas with that stuff as possible, and then I can focus on getting into more detail on the main subject. So right now, though he's taking shape, it's slow goings.

I'll keep y'all posted as more progress is made. And I'm finally subscribed to this thread, so I'm assuming I'll get emails when somebody posts. With that in mind, feel free to leave comments or questions and I should be able to get to them in a more timely fashion.

Thanks for reading, and I hope y'all are diggin' what you see!

Graig
