Exploring more into the classic American movies with iconic actors and scenes, Clint Eastwood in his classic westerns comes quickly to mind.
In the beginning process of the painting, I typically start with a sketch then and underpainting. My underpaintings consist of the 'sepia’ color palette to rough in the image and show the light and shadows. While I was in the process of working on the underpainting a person walked into his studio gallery and fell in love with the painting and wanted to buy it in the sepia colored underpainting. I told them that I wanted to at least clean up some of the edges and give it more of a finished look. The finished sepia palette really works for this painting of Clint Eastwood, a rugged country Western look.
After this, the artist decided to do a few more 'sepia' colored paintings as he saw would fit the integrity of the image.
