Feeling Sheepish?

Heres a little sneak peak of something new i'm working on. Bringing back an older style mixed with some new techniques. Should be done sometime tomorrow

More Studies

My apologies if this is getting repetitive. I have been making a considerable effort to do as many of these studies for a few reasons. Firstly, i'm trying to touch up on some traditional skills. I don't want to be one of those all digital artists, not that there is anything wrong with that, I just like variety. Im also taking note of different painting methods, how I layer the paint and which order I paint things in, because i'm trying to bring those methods into my digital painting. I think that will improve my digital painting and give it a more painterly feel. The whole process should make for a nice diverse portfolio. Another part of the fun is just studying light. Light makes everything possible in drawing. Light affects, mood, contrast, value, and the overall believability of artwork. Without good light, its hard to achieve the drama a good piece should have. So taking all of these things into consideration, I think i'm getting somewhere.

All of these pieces are for sale, and reasonably priced if you are interested shoot me an email.

Happy 400 posts!

Just got back from upstate ny for awhile, this will be my last little study for awhile. Got some more illustrative projects in the works.

Todays Study

Weather has been hell for painting lately. Rainy every day, today i drove around for two hours looking for a spot to paint. The interesting thing about driving away from baltimore city is that the scenery just gets more and more beautiful as you go, which makes stopping very difficult. Today, the sky was very strange, fast moving clouds would open up pin holes of amazing sunlight that would only last for 30 seconds at a time. So i drove and drove until i reached the edge of the enormous mass of clouds..(took nearly an hour) I whipped this one up ias fast as i could before this hole also filled with more clouds. Never got more than 10 minute look at a hole in the clouds...strange weather.

Im not a landscape painter I swear

Another study from today, if you are in baltimore please come out to the fells point festival over the next couple days. I will have some sweet t shirts for sale! Will be posting some more illustrative work later tonight hopefully.
