As you can see from the latest painting update I am now working my way down the painting. All those stripes can make your eyes go real funny, so I can only paint 2 zebra at a time before having a break. Ha… Not too many sessions left now before all the painting will be blocked in with it’s 1st coat of oil paint. Then the real work begins- bringing this painting to life!
As you can see I am still blocking in the underpainting of “the great migration”, but the design / composition is now starting to show itself. Luckily most of the paints that I am using for the zebra and wildebeest is very opaque, so it covers the canvas well - which is great as it means less layers will be required :-0)
I hope to have another post very soon as the area to the right is now almost finished - just need to take some new photos.
Hope your enjoying seeing my latest wildlife art painting come to life. View more steps on my gallery site - Wildlife Art
I’ve now completed the tonal underpainting of the wildebeest migration crossing painting - hope you like it so far. Now the painting should really start to come to life as I begin to paint the background with oil paints.

HI,
It’s been a while since I wrote but I’ve been real busy, catching up with print and CD sales and also designing the composition etc for my latest huge painting “The Crossing”.
Here are some initial stages showing how I block in the painting with a monotone 1st - I’ll come back later and paint over this with oils to bring it to life.
The painting is approx 50inches x 16 inches.
Wildlife Art on Youtube - I’ve just uploaded another video on Youtube, so there are now 4 there. Hope to add some more soon and I also hope you are seeing the paintings develop in a different way.

It’s taken me a while to gather and prepare all the reference material for this painting. But I am finally just about ready to cut the canvas to size and start laying out the drawing ready for the paint. To be honest I think the painting part is actually going to be the easiest part of the whole thing.
With so many animals - zebra, wildebeest and of course Crocs it’s going to be a complicated one to compose, plus it’s going to have to be real big to fit them all in! ha…..
I hope to have some updates and photos real soon so please keep dropping by.

I delivered three of my framed prints to The Heron Gallery (UK) yesterday ready for their Wildlife Worldwide exhibition starting, Thursday 27th March. As mentioned previously my main print is the huge Siberian Tiger “Khan”, the other two are mountain gorilla prints.
I also had a sneak preview of some of the wildlife art that will be in the exhibit and I must admit that it appeared that anyone who’s anyone in UK wildlife art has a painting or print there!
The exhibition will be awesome and is certainly worth a visit, particularly as you can pick a print or painting up fully framed and ready to hang!

I’m pleased to announce that my latest huge Siberian tiger print will be displayed at the Heron Gallery, Weston-super-mare, UK - fully framed and ready to purchase.
As most of my collectors know, I almost always supply paintings and prints unframed due to shipping costs and safety, so this is a RARE opportunity to buy one of my largest prints ready to hang on your wall.
The exhibition is in aid of Wildlife Worldwide with a percentage of profits benefiting the David Shepherd Foundation.
The exhibition runs from March 27th through to 6th April 2008.
