The form is bump paint manipulated with the blur blender. The painting is all gloop pen, no filters. The jpg upload nearly destroys the bump lighting and somewhat dulls the colors, but blowing up full screen seems to help a little.

As a practice piece this fits good into the thread. It's not really a painting. It is more a graphic design that emerged while experimenting with the different AR3 tools playing with different effects. It began to organize itself into a fun visual. I think most of the tools are covered: oil brush, ink pen, gloop, chalk, crayon, pencil, watercolor, paint roller, airbrush, tube paint, sticker gun, glitter, blenders, type fonts, stencils, select tool, etc. Just no filters - straight AR3 tools.
It was a big AR file. Most of the highlights are sadly lost and quite a bit of color is dulled in the JPEG compression for the Forum upload. If you blow it up full screen it will help. But it's still duller than the original file. Especially the highlights are lost which further dulls the image. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable experimenting excursion and I thought to post it.

Hi Byron! Sorry I have been absent lately... I have missed a lot of your recent work. Fantastic stuff and it looks like you have been experimenting. You are a true ArtRage Pioneer. I would like to spend more time looking at your recent work before I comment further on each of them but from what I have seen so far... Simply amazing stuff! I have been very busy painting as well... except it has been painting my house (they have not come up with a digital program for that yet!). As far as digital, I have been doing some experimentation as well on both technique, color, and light. Hopefully I will emerge from my labyrinth of frustration and artistic agony soon with something interesting to look at. Until then, be well and I will be lurking in the shadows!

Eddie: Hey, great to hear from you. I've had some house painting painting of my own recently. Life distracts. I have managed to pop in recently and post some paintings - thanks for your always generous comments. I like some of the new ones, but I do feel I'm bumping up a little against an artistic rut. Things seem to be getting a bit predictable. I think I need to explore some new avenues. Nevertheless, I look forward to your additional feedback on some of the recent posts. And I hope we get to see more of your paintings soon. I've missed both your paintings and our exchanges.
