Summer in Astoria, Oregon.

Sasquatch has arrived safely from the west coast to the east coast,  and is enjoying the company of other like-beings in a show at "Annex Comics" in Newport, Rhode Island.

Stop by and say HELLO to him if you are in the area between March 1-31, 2014.

Acrylic on canvas board.

He's framed and for sale.

I am doing a Sasquatch painting for a show at Annex Comics in Newport, Rhode Island.  (February 28, 2014 - March 31, 2014.)  I thought it would be fun to share the process.

First I cut out a drawing that I did on tracing paper.  It gave me an idea of size and shape for the canvas and frame I had available.

Then I used acrylic paint sort of like watercolor paint to do a nice wash of the trees in the background.  As I began blocking in the color, I wanted to highlight the flesh tones first, then moved on to white,  Payne's Gray, and browns.
