#1 Welcome to Oceania in Progress

Well it has be awhile since I have posted anything, but that doesn't mean I haven't been up to anything :) I am currently in production of a painting series based on George Orwell's 1984. There will be seven large acrylic paintings and the following is some of the preliminary work for the large 6'x3' painting, "Welcome to Oceania."



Preliminary half scale line drawing (1.5'x3').



Underpainting for small color study. Half way done (10"x20").



Color study.



In progress painted line work on final 3'x6' canvas. The composition was flipped. Mainly because of the fact that the main character has the entire world in his way. The other orientation made it appear that he has already conquered everything. Hopefully this large painting will be completed by mid May.
