HOLLYWOOD

a new Graphic LA painting! it's been too long. Uncharted 3 is safely put to bed and it's time to get back to this thought. an important note (to myself as well) in the very last stages of a painting don't compare it to the subject, look at your mark making and design elements. brushwork, structural thickness, calligraphy...the painting is the final "reality". look at it as such.
blocked it out in as few values as possible in the beginning. added a screen-shot.

artRage 2

i finally decided to give it a spin last night around 11:00 pm, so i downloaded the free version. if you're at all interested in a program that handles alot like oil paint then i recommend you try this. the free version doesn't have too many features which makes it very close to painting in oil. it's great if you want to train your eye and practise color matching the hard way. this was an invented landscape by the way.

Warm Day

Dust Off

painted with the same brush i used on the last 2 posts but with a little more detail. i really like the way the small buildings under the pad came out.
