Patha Sarathi 3, original oil on linen canvas by Dominique Amendola

 


Partha Sarathi 3, oil painting on linen canvas 48 inches by 72 inches or 4 feet by 6 feet.  (This image is under strict copyright to Dominique Amendola. )

In this post, I will show you how I created a large painting from beginning to end.
My canvas was primed with an ocher yellow layer before starting on the canvas.
Beforehand, numerous sketches took place.







































The hardest part was to create a believable chariot.






















Once I finished with many sketches, I transferred the main sketch to the canvas and started with the sky, and the underpainting.















































The figures, chariot, and horses are entirely worked in raw umber and white.

















The background consisting of the sky and the road and field are established first. 







At this point, colors are glazed on top. This process takes long hours in front of the canvas, painting.




There are many steps to finishing a painting. You can compare some of those stages to those earlier steps.
This was my third version of this painting. Two of them found a home.


Painting is a meditation.

The goal of life is rapture. Art is the way we experience it.
