Art challenge fail.

Ok, im now roughly 5 days short of where im so post to be with this challenge.  I thought i could juggle finals and a daily sketch painting but as of a few days ago it clicked that I have 3 painting to flesh out in a week.  So Im not entirely goofing off or being lazy I did spend 7 hours yesterday on photoshop figuring out layer masks for one of my finals.  Although frustrating it was also quite satisfying, thanks to some much needed help from friends I learned more in that 7 hour timeframe about photoshop than I have all semester.
But as always thanks for the views and check back in a week or so and ill have some paintings up.

A taste of what my Thanksgiving break consisted of


Both of these under paintings where done in the style developed by the old masters.  If its good enough for them its good enough for me!  So the top one will be glazed over using oils and a dead palette followed by touch ups with a double primary to boost the saturation.  For the bottom painting I will be trying a new method, and will be brought into photoshop to do some touch ups as well as made into a grayscale more touch ups and than glazing colors digitally, will see how it goes.  Not to worry ill have my daily post done and up within an hour or two.

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends Fam and the Rest

Day 9


So did this as an excuse to try out my custom cloud brush I made last night.  Pretty pleased with how it operates, there is defiantly an art to making custom brushes,  spent at-least two hours goofing around and managed to make this one and a gaggle of other really bad looking brushes that I ended up deleting

Day 8

Trying out a new technique I picked up from Feng Zhu's youtube channel.  Basically in consist of a line drawing photo scrap and the color picker.  However I didn't get much actual painting done most of my time was spend figuring out the correct way to use multiply layers, photos, and color overlays in a cohesive fashion.  So I will most likely be carrying on with this painting for tomorrows post.
