Deer in Morning Light

2026 · Acrylic on canvas · 24 × 30 in

A quiet morning piece from the deer series. Gold light, dark ground, and just enough detail to feel present without overworking the form.

In progress

Process shots from the studio — sketches, layers, and mid-paint moments.

  • Pencil sketch blocking the deer form and horizon line.

    Initial sketch on paper. Proportion and posture first.

  • Mid-paint blocking with gold sky wash and grey deer silhouette.

    Blocking values before final gold and highlight passes.
