I have been commissioned to paint a landscape piece, based on a photo taken by the commissioner himself. It began as a mixed media piece however took an oil paint turn when the effects seemed to better suit the atmosphere of the image I was working from. The canvas itself is beautifully made and so lovely to work from! It is coming together, finally. Maybe a few more sessions and it will be ready to show its owner.
Here is a piece I was commissioned to do, installed in the lovely Larch Lodge, Kenwick.
My first retired pallet 🙂 I am going to hang it on my wall as the first of many!
As silverback gorilla’s are my favorite animal I was more than challenged in being commissioned to paint one. In every aspect from their presence and expressions, I love all of the attributes of a gorilla, including the way they move. As I am so fond, I could not imagine not trying to involve as much of the traits I love about them into the painting itself. My starting point for this piece was documented in a video which shows the progression of the gorilla’s face from scratch (with a bit of Biffy Clyro…) WATCH HERE on my youtube channel. It is images from here on out, different sizes, angles, styles to fully show the work the progression of the painting. Hope your enjoy! , Katy x http://www.facebook.com/katyjadedobsonart Commissions – http://www.katyjadedobson.com

I look out for their next update and I think it is a wonderful thing that people can share their life and what they love to do, with others who feel the same. I have recently fully set up my own personal website that serves as an online portfolio for my paintings. But the community I have noticed on wordpress is a friendly and responsive one that has already helped me better my paintings and gain new subjects to work with. Interaction with people on the same level and enjoying the same things is what keeps me posting and updating. For this reason, I want my posts to be rich in substance for …
