Hey Dave!

Thanks man......appreciate the kinds words, and funny timing as that painting just sold this weekend.

So for this painting, once the background was put down I transferred my sketch to the board with carbon paper and then layered gouache down to build up my highlights and shadows. After those whites and colors are down I put use a brush to outline the entire piece and build up all the detail...just a long script synthetic haired liner.

Thanks man!

Clysdalle!

This is a powerful piece! Love the mood you created with th background...

Couple quick questions, if you do not mind:

Once you completed your background and began to outline the headhunter and his throne, did you outline it by brush or pen or what? Just curious... I see the pics of you brushing in after you've outlined, but wondering your process for the initial outlining...

Once again, fantastic piece (I also loved your Harvester surfboard piece!)

Peace,
