"Sabre Ready" began as study for my painting "Sabre Girl". I started this painting a while back at the 2005 Nationals Championship in Sacramento, CA. I was painting small watercolors and selling pretty well but this one took a while to get the mask and stance just right. I'm particularly happy with the lettering of the word "Sabre". To get that affect I used masking fluid to write the words and near the end of the work I removed it and then adjusted the temperature of that area to complement the rest of the work. I'm also pleased at the way the metallic vest (lame) turned out. I used Daniel Smith Silver Metallic Pigment to glaze over the blue area of the vest.

I love fencing as it sounds like you do! I prefer epee as I still haven't got my head round right of way in foil and sabre. I especially like the painting above where I am commenting.

Thank you.

I do love fencing. I fence all three and I find I love each weapon for different reasons. Even though I'm primarily a foil fencer, epee is slowly stealing my heart.

I will be posting some epee images later this week. Check back often. Thanks again for the nice feedback and comment.
