A Highly Clothed Betrothed

Oil on canvas, 48 x 36 inches


This is a first step for a large painting of a bride in her wedding gown. The way I normally start a painting, by sort of launching into it, doesn't seem to work out that well for these large canvases, so this time I drew up a plan.

Not by accident brides are very sexy creatures. I think the only part of a traditional wedding that I miss from not having had one, is the wedding-night unwrapping!
