Hi there! My name is Cayce Goldberg, I'm a digital painter from Denver, CO. I wanted to share some of my paintings I've created in ArtRage over the last few years.

I've been a digital painter for over 10 years but only started using ArtRage in 2010. I bounce between it and Photoshop and always try to use them as extensions of the traditional painter's toolbox (by which I mean that I like my paintings to look as traditional as possible). I follow a pretty basic process that I was taught in college - drawing, underpainting, blocking in, refining. I never color sample or trace images, but rather try to paint by observation.

More of my work is available at www.caycegoldberg.com.

Here's my ArtRage gallery: https://members.artrage.com/gallery_categories/1163

I'm also the gallery director at Helikon Gallery & Studios in Denver, CO. You can check out our gallery at www.helikongallery.com.

Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for looking!

Thanks so much! I do hold a BFA in Illustration from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Colorado. I always loved art as a kid, but never got very good until I started focusing on it as a profession. I think with the right instruction and a lot of hard work, just about anyone can become an expert!

I really admire your work. It is always gratifying when a traditional artists takes up digital art, they bring so much to the table. I too started with traditional when I was still an child, but soon came computers and I have been there every since. I love the endless possibilities but I admit I am spoiled. Work such as yours reminds me of the real discipline in painting.

Hey everyone! Long time no talk. I've got some new ArtRage paintings to share!

I painted the James Dean one most recently, based it off a photo where he had an eyepatch. The color scheme is an homage to one of NC Wyeth's Treasure Island painting, I was feeling the pirate vibe.

The others are life paintings from a 3 hour session I host every week. I have some others too, I'll post them up when I have my laptop.

Also pretty excited to be teaching my first ever workshop in September, an intro to digital painting using ArtRage! I'm looking forward to the challenge, I think it's one of the more intuitive digital painting programs out there.

And finally, shameless plug for an exhibit I'm hosting in Denver. 'Pixel Palette' is a group show we're hosting right now at Helikon Gallery, if you wanna check it out you can go to www.helikongallery.com or check out www.instagram.com/helikongallery. It's been awesome having a chance to expose people to digital painting as a fine art medium. One of the beautiful things about digital painting is the affordability, it helps put art in people's homes, where it belongs! It's really emboldened by view on digital painting, I encourage all of you to keep painting into the future! I'm crossing my fingers for some 3D printed digital paintings...

Thanks for the kind words everybody! I'm back on my laptop and have some older life paintings I didn't share. They're not all winners, but I think you can learn just as much from failing as succeeding.

Once more You fixed fantastically natural poses with apparently few, masterful brushstrokes. Each of them suggest a possible comfortable and glorious finishing whenever You wish to go on. Excellent!

Hi everybody, thanks again for checking out my work and leaving such nice comments. Here's another 3 hour life painting from last night, oil paint / palette knife on smooth paper. Tried to focus mainly on getting good skin tones that don't feel flat and dead. Also trying to get better about controlling where I put my brightest and darkest colors.

You know, I've also got a lot of ArtRage scripts I should upload one of these days. I love being able to record a painting and watch it back later, I've sometimes had epiphanies about my process that way.

Just think. When everybody switches to digital in these studio situations, nobody is going to leave with black conté crayon and charcoal powder on their thighs. No smell of turpentine. All clean as a whistle. I was thinking to sell incense that smelled of turps just to turn back the clock a little ways.

Well, the paintings still hold the timed-pose energy just fine. And that's the main thing -- keeping the hand-eye connection up to scratch and speedy. All looking great. Choosing the right marks all the way.

Hey everyone! Back after a hiatus. I've been working mostly in Photoshop lately, you can see my most recent paintings there at www.caycegoldberg.com.

Did a life painting session last night, 3 hours. Had a lot of fun with it, but the legs totally defeated me. It was a super challenging pose! Ah well, there's always next week. My technique on this one was to paint from dark to light, so everything started out very dark and I gradually added lighter and lighter tones.

Nice technique. I visited your site with your portfolio. Really nice selection of what to paint. Gives it a very interesting vibe -- something not seen too often. But the structure is always sound. Cool.
