      <image:title>Blog - Live Wedding Painting Recap: Tuscany in Texas - This is the iconic staircase the couple requested their reference photo be taken at. Unlike with other weddings I’ve painted, this moment wasn’t an organic part of the day (like first look or first kiss). We instead had a little photoshoot between the first look and ceremony where I got my reference.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s so worth scoping out your venue for cool spots like this that would make a unique painting. I hear people say sometimes that all wedding paintings look the same, but I don’t think that’s true. If that’s something you’re worried about, though, there are ways to make your painting even more “you”. One of those is picking a really unique backdrop or setting for your painting, like a staircase like this instead of at the altar.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Live Wedding Painting Recap: Tuscany in Texas - This was the painting at the end of the night! When I tell you painting all those individual steps broke my brain a little bit, I mean it. I’m all about organic forms, like people, dresses, and anything found in nature. Linear perspective is something I always end up fighting with a little bit in paintings. All of this was freehand- although after this wedding I started bringing a T-square with me to weddings so I could easily get perfectly straight perpendicular lines.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This wedding was so beautiful. I was set up just outside the reception hall in a little entryway next to the guestbook and whatnot. So, I got to listen to the speeches, which is always one of my favorite parts of the wedding. The bride’s little brother gave a speech that straight up had me crying and set my expectations VERY high for when I get married (I, too, have a little brother. He better be already planning his speech).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Live Wedding Painting Recap: Tuscany in Texas - Behold, the finished painting!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lace? Say less. It’s one of my favorite things to paint, period. I was so pleased with how this painting came out. I would put it on the cover of a romance book, no notes. I ended up adding an extra tree behind the couple for compositional reasons. As any good artist knows, the human eye is drawn to areas of high contrast. I use this fact to always make the couple’s faces the focal point of the painting. Their faces are fairly light in value, as is the wall behind them. Their faces were getting lost. By adding the dark tree behind them, I was able to greatly increase the contrast, making their faces really stand out. This also gave me room to play with the glow on the bride’s face.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Live Wedding Painting Recap: Tuscany in Texas - Let’s take a closer look at those portraits.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I had so much fun playing with edges in this painting, especially around the couple. I also experimented a bit with building texture. I really built up the paint in the light areas of her dress, while leaving the shadows thinner. I learned this technique from a workshop I took last November with Richard Greathouse. He talked a lot about the “landscape of a painting,” or the idea that even 2 dimensional art exists in 3 dimensions. With oil painting, we have the ability to paint very thickly in some areas. I reserve this for areas that I want to jump out at the viewer. It’s just another tool in an artist’s arsenal to create the art that best represents them. I also loved playing with the level of focus I gave to different parts of the painting. For example, the hand the bride has wrapped around the groom’s shoulders is more or less 3 brushstrokes: 1 to place in the shadow color, 1 horizontally across the knuckles, and 1 last vertical stroke to denote the middle finger. I did this to emphasize that this hand is moving away from us in space. Contrast this with the detail of the bride’s hand holding the veil. While it is still a bit soft, there is much more detail. Small choices like these are integral to creating depth in paintings.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Live Wedding Painting Recap: A Wild Affair - This wedding was a BLAST to paint! This was definitely one of the most unique venues I’ve gotten to paint at, and as an animal lover, I was in heaven. The couple got married at the Fort Worth Zoo in, of course, Fort Worth, Texas. The ceremony was on the porch of the Portraits of the Wild Art Gallery. It was so cool to be surrounded by different animal paintings while creating an animal painting! The reception took place inside the gallery.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is what the painting looked like at the end of the night. I didn’t have a ton of time to work on the background before the ceremony, so this is more or less just 4 hours of work (6pm to 10 pm). It is 16”x20”. I already knew I was going to add a couple more things to the foreground. It was feeling a little empty, and I didn’t think flower petals were going to be enough. There was a subtle butterfly theme running through the wedding, so I decided to embrace that. The bride’s veil was covered in butterfly embroidery, and there were butterfly centerpieces in the reception.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Live Wedding Painting Recap: A Wild Affair - This is the finished painting!</image:title>
      <image:caption>So! Lots and lots of touch ups done here. I really wanted to emphasize the sun bursting through the trees, so I darkened a lot of the foliage and brightened the edges of the leaves. I also darkened the giraffes (who were not actually there, by the way) and gave them a little halo glow. I, personally, love how the butterflies came out! I stuck with a variety of native Texan butterflies. Let’s talk about that dress. Painting wedding dresses may be my favorite part of this job. If you look closely, you can see the butterfly embellishments on her veil. You can also see the subtle sparkles that covered her dress, as well as some of the ruching on the bodice. And, of course, I’m always a fan of tattoos and tiaras. The tricky part about painting tattoos is making them accurate and realistic without feeling over detailed. The couple loved the painting which is, of course, the most important part.</image:caption>
