Bugling Bull Elk

This is a bigger study of a bugling bull elk that I
had done a smaller version of a few months ago.
I am looking for the right pose to use in a big
painting with a harem(cows).
I used black and white acrylic gesso to underpaint
the entire canvas, then used thin acrylic glazes to
set the underpainting. Then I finished it using
alkyd oil paint.
Probably about 12 hours total.

Doing paintings like this is a good way to look
for ways to use special lighting. I have a couple
of big elk paintings in the works. There are only
a few poses that look good in a painting. The
variety can come in putting cows in a variety
of positions and different lighting.
