Stunning thank you I’ve got a WIP of a winter scene & decided to add a white tail buck. I’ve done a few that are excellent. But I still keep learning there no such thing as to much knowledge.

Thank you for sharing.

Terrific Art teacher, I remember that book. Not sure if there was another such book called the Gift of the Deer. There were a number. I am dyslexic , so it was hard for me to read. Owen Gromme , who also was a friend of Robert Batemans later in Batemans life, was the one who taught me, when Owen would catch me skipping school.. After my art supplies, years of sketch books and notes in my words, of reading., some paintings, were stolen, I could no longer afford to pay for my college education. Therefore, art had been put aside. Raising a Child, no car, time spent by bus, chores, not much time for a lot of any art. Now I am 75, and back in it, still on low income. Question: I had tried to make black and white prints, to make post cards but sturdier i was using Krylon Spry Adhesive and they changed the formula. It bleed through my prints, and ends up I can peal the print Right off. it never sticks like they use to. I tried a few others, and since the Pandemic , they too did something. If I use Elmer Glue it makes the outer edges look sloppy. I can not find places near to make prints, nor really afford. DO YOU KNOW WHAT BRAND OF SPRAY I SHOULD USE? I am 75 years old, and a tribute to OWEN Gromme , I want to fill the Promise I made, and for the help. Being dyslexic as a child in the 50-60's was not easy, Teachers were just as bad , taking pleasure to embarrass, which end with constant teas at school and at recess, then go home and get almost same treatment. I may be 75, but I do not feel it, nor act, nor dress like I am , nor on a limited budget. I would do oils, but my studio is also where I sleep. Perhaps this summer. I thought of doing 8x 10 pre treated flat board canvas, and sell those, to perhaps afford to have prints made. Just to gain the exposure. I did meet Robert Bateman, without knowing who he was . or that I was when he caught me sketching, in the park he bought and donated to Toronto ,Canada. He really liked my work, and said he rarely seen females doing much art work in wildlife. I am trying to catch up with time missed. I am mainly doing birds in my state. including some of the Plants, Trillium, dog tooth violets. fire pinks, add a few insects or a toad, without taking away the main topic the bird. There are about 344 birds seen in my state. Did enjoy your Pod Cast. Thank you.

Amazing talent! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful work.

The process looks so seamless! I'm kinda curious to know if the paint roller leaves any air bubbles after the varnish dries ?

Absolutely beautiful!❤ i love all wildlife. Spent alot of time as a kid on a horse and cattle ranch in Freer Texas lots of deer out there as well. But i gotta stay true to my favorite animal which im sure you do a remarkable job at painting. Horses 🐎

This is great thank you for sharing

Woww

I know they aren't really native to Alberta, but have you ever done a muskox? They seem like the sort of big hefty creature you would be able to do.

Your palette stays so organized. I gotta get a better habit going. Beautiful painting. Thank you for showing us!

Love your content. Have been subscribed since the beginning. Not only are your animals so beautifully rendered, but man, the flora is amazing laden down with snow in this case.

Nice job!

Exquisite. What a velvetty soft muzzle.

Another outstanding piece of work des.

👍

Awesome des

Gorgeous

Is this an oil painting?

Is this acrylic or oil painting?

Hello again Des, I was just wondering what that black pencil tool was that you use to draw in the shapes before you add the wash. The wash does not seem too smear it. Is it charcoal or a grease pencil? Thanks. 😊🫎 fan of mooses! Haha

What do you use for varnish

Beautiful

Beautiful!!

Wow, it's amazing to see it from the beginning to the final product. Great work❤

❤❤❤❤

Very interesting and well done I love the symbolism!

Really great painting keep going 👏

Do you find you have to adjust the drawing at all to compensate for the concave surface?
