"THE CATCHER"

Boy catching

This is a lovely painting of a young boy in the middle of catching a baseball. It’s great as an example of how to paint an action photo you may have.

We only use three colours so it’s easy to practice again and again.

We’ll use wet in wet techniques with a controlled wash to ensure we don’t lose those highlights in the white trousers. We’ve got some great vibrant colours to use and it will create a stunning finished painting.
