-Satyr Grabbing his own Horn-

12/27/2013

0 Comments

 
        I've started doing tonal studies for this piece.  I'm imagining a mountainous landscape behind the satyr, which I will need to do more studies for.  Once all the studies are finished, I'll do a small oil study and then transfer the composition to a large canvas.  I couldn't have gotten this far without using a model because my imagination can't comprehend the anatomy genuinely enough.  The satyr, of course, doesn't have human anatomy, but that's where my imagination comes in.  I like thinking about paintings in this manner, like a puzzle that needs all the pieces before it can be solved.
