Every Rusty Sherrill paintingstarts with a thumbnail idea sketch. Working small helps him get thecomposition and feeling of the piece right. Then he enlarges the best sketch,adds detail and transfers it to canvas. The artist prefers working in acrylics,but using the Old Masters’ oil painting method of doing a monochromaticunderpainting before adding washes of color. Rusty also loves working inPhotoshop.
