Have you ever wondered about how paintings come to be?

In the Red Barn time-lapse painting video below you can get a sneak peek into the process.

I show you some of the stages I go through when doing highly realistic painting. It is a layer after layer leap of faith because 9 times out of 10 I don’t think it’s going to work out when I’m about 1/3 of the way through! The trick is to just keep going and see what happens.

This is one of my barn paintings that is part of the Barn Quilts fabric collection from Riley Blake Designs.

It is also available for licensing through my agent at Roaring Brook Art. 

Hope you enjoy it!
