This painting is of an image I captured at the Texas Photo Festival a couple years ago. I painted it with a couple different brushes. The primary brushes was an oil brush which I used on the flag and all the wood. I used a different brush on the rope and a hair brush on the fringe of the rope. The small piece of the rock wall in the background was yet a third brush, one I designed for rocks.
I first painted it in layers, starting with the objects that were furthest back in the scene, so the rock wall. Then the table underneath and inside, then the flag and the star, then the rope, then the wood over the rope and finally the small round wooden object on the top shelf.
After painting it in layers, I merged them all into one final image and touched up any areas at the margins that needed to be blended. I added my blur/softlight finish, put a orange-to-pink gradient map in soft light low opacity over the image to pop the color and added my signature. Color this one done!
