Artist’s studio setup showing two large canvases on easels, a Mallard painting in progress and an inked Osprey drawing beside it.

I spent some time over the weekend working on the Mallard. 🦆
I worked on the front foot and started refining a few details. Once it’s dry, I’ll be adding more color glazing and fine-tuning the textures.

It feels nice to be back with the paints again.

Today in the studio, Sasha decided she needed to give me a challenge 🐾
I’m juggling pencils and dogs while working on the Osprey drawing for the large oil 🎨✏️

Definitely not an impediment… right? 😄

Do you have a helper pet too? 🐾

An even closer view of the osprey’s wing drawing on canvas. Each feather is carefully shaped as Allison starts planning the large oil version for her Kings of the Sky series.

A close look at Allison sketching the feathers of an osprey’s wing in pencil. The detailed lines show the flow and movement that will guide the painting later.

Studio update from the easel today:

I’m starting layout work for the Osprey in my Kings of the Sky series. This will be the large oil version, expanding on the earlier sketch and study. It’s always fascinating how a piece transforms from paper to canvas.

Detail of mallard duck feathers and belly in progress, with texture and shadow added to build dimension, oil painting by Allison Richter.

Worked on the wing this week—almost done! Next up: belly + duck butt 🦆 Added feather texture and darker glazes for depth. Still more to do, but it’s coming together. Excited to get to the feet soon! #artcollectors #wildlifeartist #birdart #oilpainting #asf_artists

Oils need time to dry, so I rotate between canvases in a day.
Today was mallard oils and osprey studies.

Which stage do you enjoy most: sketch, early layers, or finished?

Adding ink to a moulding paste with gesso canvas to prep for oil painting.

Re-inking the falcon before painting—bringing the lines back after gesso + molding paste. It’s part of my oil on canvas process! Do you add texture before painting?
