Kirby Sattler. Native American Indian Art Paintings.

WEEK 4-5: NATIVE AMERICAN ART PORTRAIT

12/28/2014

Using an extremely thin brush, the main focus is now on the eyes - the most essential part of the painting.

As this precise work is demanding and tiring, the work must alternate channeling the soul of the subject through the eyes, and other less involving details such as feathers, "models" for which are temporarily taped to the canvas.

The background and landscape elements are sketched as rough outlines.

Out of all the stages of painting a portrait, this stage is the most crucial. This is when the painting's future is being investigated.

If Kirby decides that he did not portray the emotion he envisioned, he will destroy the canvas.

Kirby Sattler spends anywhere from 2 months to an entire year on each Native American art painting. Today we share the first stage of the process as a canvas is stretched, primed, and an initial charcoal sketch is drawn.
