Some new oil paintings
Here are some new pieces I have been working on. Some are smallish and some are bigger. I try to keep it loose at the beginning and then tighten as I go along. A lot of fun!
Sketches I've been meaning to upload...
Here are some random sketches I did a few months ago. I need to get back to sketching. So fun!
I've been getting into painting Still Lifes again...
All done in Oil.
iPad Value Sketches using an Apple Pencil
Some sketches I did on the iPad using the app Procreate. I think the brush is Pastel. Very cool way to see values. What I do is split the screen of the iPad and on one side I have the grayscale photo and on the other side of the iPad screen I have the Procreate app canvas. (see below image) It's a pretty cool way to work. As for getting the correct values, I just use my eyes. I'm not using the "eyedropper tool" to get the correct value. To me, that's kind of cheating. Also, I like to keep both images (The photo and the sketch) the same size.Anyway it's a fun way to work and you don't get any charcoal on your fingers!
