Progress on Elephant

Diego Glazer2025–26 fellow · Jun 15, 2026

I’m finally getting into the fun stuff with this large canvas. The main structure of the painting is all set up, and now it’s time to get into the nitty gritty details and bring this thing to life, starting with the ornaments on and around the elephant’s head.

Progress on Elephant

Diego Glazer2025–26 fellow · Apr 23, 2026

Having done a fairly meticulous drawing on the final canvas, I continued by doing a color wash and a block in. The goal is to get the big shapes and colors to work in conjunction before getting into several detail passes in the coming weeks.Elephant · the making →

So I bought several faux plants and flowers, as well as some fruit from Pike Place Market and got to…Elephant · the making →

Progress on Elephant

Diego Glazer2025–26 fellow · Feb 26, 2026

Starting to plan my next project. A surrealist take on orientalism. Inspired by an old sketch I made from imagination, I am now further developing the scene via color studies in preparation for the large canvas. In a digital world I prefer to work with my hands.Elephant · the making →

Progress on Forest on a Boat

Diego GlazerJan 8, 2026

With the backdrop practically done, now it’s time to have fun with all the little Easter eggs I usually pepper throughout my paintings. Birds not only give scale to the scenery, but also give life and movement to the overall painting.Forest on a Boat · the making →

I like to take my time allowing complex textures to build over various sessions. If I do it right, the colors will make each other vibrate!Forest on a Boat · the making →

Progress on Forest on a Boat

Diego GlazerNov 4, 2025

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks ideating, sketching out ideas and doing color studies. The first idea I’m tackling is the concept of protecting and tending to what you value. This idea is represented by a forest floating on a boat. What do you think about these color studies?Forest on a Boat · the making →
