"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.
