Test Video for Live Painting the Tour de France

I apologize for getting the video orientation wrong, but then that is why you do a test ahead of the big event.  As always, I will be painting the Tour de France live, every stage, every day.  I will be sharing each and every painting here, as I do. But new this year will be a youtube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLGX-TnjXDSkkOidUE6pN1g?view_as=subscriber in addition to sharing each painting here and posting them for sale on my website, www.greigleach.com.

All of the work is created using www.richesonart.com watercolors, particularly, St. Petersburg Yarks cake watercolors with Faber Castel ink pens.  I hope you will subscribe to the youtube channel and follow me here.  And then there is always twitter, https://twitter.com/ArtofCycling.

I'm looking to spending the month of July with you and the complete peloton of the Tour de France.

Doing a live painting of one of my works from Doha 2016 UCI Road World Championships

I was asked to be one of the artist to create a work of art live for a fundraiser for the YWCA here in Richmond, Virginia.  Since we were working on the theme of empowering women, I felt it was only appropriate to create a 3'x4' acrylic painting based on one of my watercolors from the Elite Women's Road Race in Doha, just two weeks ago.

I was rather pleased with the results.  This is a new technique that I have been developing to create a large scale version of what I have been able to do with the live watercolors of the various races I have been sharing here.  I love trying to discover a new vocabulary in art making.  It is what keeps us artist painting.  It is for the discovery and the challenge of the work that I create, the finished painting is just the byproduct of the work of making discoveries.

Should you want me to come paint a live event for you, or if you would like to commission a work of art for yourself, please email me at greigsart@gmail.com
