    Hi, I'm Cynthia Sheppard.

  • 00:12

    In this video I'm going to show you the process of how I made this painting, called "Omens."

  • 00:24

    Like most of my work, it began as a series of small thumbnails in my sketchbook.

  • 00:30

    Once I had a clear idea of what I wanted the composition to look like, I shot reference photos for the female character and the drapery.

  • 00:40

    Then, looking closely at the reference, I created this drawing using graphite, white charcoal, and india ink, to use as a foundation for the painting.

  • 00:53

    After scanning in the drawing, I also made a colorized version in Photoshop

  • 00:58

    to get an idea of how I wanted to use color throughout the whole composition. I'll keep a printout next to my easel as I work.

  • 01:19

    The final painting's going to be 22 x 30 inches on illustration board

  • 01:24

    which is bigger than the drawing, so I scaled it up in Photoshop and printed out a template in sections

  • 01:31

    which you can do if you don't have access to a large format printer.

  • 01:35

    I put a sheet of tracing paper coated in charcoal behind the template and traced over the printed drawing with a hard lead pencil

  • 01:43

    which transfers the most important lines of the drawing to my illustration board.

  • 01:49

    After that, I used pencil to darken some of the lines.

  • 01:53

    Then the drawing was ready to be sealed, starting with a coat of spray fixative and three or four coats of acrylic matte medium.

  • 02:09

    After the medium dried, I was ready to start the acrylic underpainting.

  • 02:20

    I'll be using three colors in the underpainting: black, raw umber, and alizarin crimson.

  • 02:26

    This will allow some warm tones to show through later when I'm working in oil.

  • 02:32

    I'll control the opacity of the acrylics by thinning them with water and matte medium and letting the white of the illustration board show through.

  • 02:42

    From here I've sped up the video so you can watch the painting evolve.

  • 02:47

    (music plays)

  • 04:50

    I've chosen to use a limited palette of ivory black, white, yellow ochre, and alizarin crimson

  • 04:57

    and Prussian blue later as a glazing color.

  • 05:03

    Those pigments should give me the range of colors I need for this painting.

  • 05:08

    As a medium I'm using one part Turpenoid and one part linseed oil mixed together.

  • 05:12

    (music plays)

  • 10:16

    I hope you enjoyed seeing this painting take shape. Thanks for watching.
