This is a rough value study for the painting
"Forest Conflict" My paintings are all in acrylic or acrylic and oil.
I paint on either canvas panel or gesso primed Masonite. Every painting
starts as a 4x5 inch sketch that I work up in grays as a value study. I
wash the surface in an acrylic tone then add darks and lights in umber
tones. I finish with color glazes in either oils or acrylics. I think
this is similar to the approach Frazetta used. He was an early and
continuing influence on my work and a true 20th century master.
