2018 Finger Paintings!

Looking great as ever. Still loving the color choices. They're very pleasing, and they're aptly descriptive. Nice stuff.

Thanks D Akey. I’m happy to know they read even with the abbreviated marks!

Gorgeous Chad- I love the way you capture the light! The way you use it reminds me of the Chiaroscuro in the old masters works with the juxtaposition of the light to the dark

Thank you very much! I would actually like to force myself to not push the contrast so much. I always seem to gravitate to those light/dark contrasts as it helps create drama for me.

Morose self portrait! All ArtRage app with this one. Trying some warm neutral tones after the green overload of the forest sketches. One thing I like about self portraits is I can study the structure of the face without a lot of pressure to get the likeness dead on.

I agree about the model for a self-portrait. The least complaining model on the planet. Cool. This shows your process in a fairly direct painting.

Did you take a selfie on the spot to work from or do you most often look into a mirror?

Haha yea exactly. Although others seem to complain about my self portraits like my wife.

I used both...a selfy pic for drawing and the mirror for lighting

Finger Illustration based on some random smearing using a palette knife and a photo. Included the stage just beyond the intitial smearing as comparison. Fun exercise that’s reactive to a composition/color scheme rather than planning things out from the getgo. Drawback is trying to get a story to fit the shapes and colours without completely losing the basic foundation that sparked it off in the first place.

This one came about with some experimental mashing of layers in different blending modes, and squashing and stretching. It’s actually little hard to describe the process in words alone, but here is the result. Endulged in a bit of photobashing as well to quickly produce the details that were particular to the concept.

Chad. On this last one I think. You’ve. Been reading too much. Si Fi. Ok.
