I almost forgot to share this timelapse of the first drawing I did for the Organic Form lesson. In my opinion this drawing was way better than the one I ended up with in the demo. I think because this one came out more as like an automatic drawing...

For the past few days I've been staying in a motel room here in Los Angeles. I took a staycation to get into a new environment. This was kind of an experiment for me. I've been planning it for a while. I shot a lot of video while I was there so I'...

To wrap up on form, here's a real time drawing while talking about form. I go over the basic forms, how they relate to perspective, ellipses, using cross contours, the line of balance and proportion, and then I do a "doodle" drawing using organic ...

This is the second lesson about Form. In the first lesson we talked about how to break complex subjects down into bigger geometric forms, how to combine forms, how to manipulate the basic forms.

This piece was the longest piece I worked on in this series. There were 3 false starts. The string thing, the decalcomania, then the portrait I started over it. Sometimes it just comes down to "make it more simple...stupid."
I like that I ca...

String thing technique, gouache, Frame, Chef kiss. muah.
This is what I mean by the "String Thing." I try to add planes to the random marks made by the string.
I participate in Tiny Terrors every year at the Dark Art Emporium. This year in particular I got carried away. I usually paint pretty small anyways, ...

I didn't do a walkthrough for this one. The process was very similar to After Party Delerium. So check that out for more info about the painting process. I'm going to give a kind of behind the scenes of what goes into making the videos of...

Semi-step-by-step walkthrough of the process of this painting. I talk about the underpainting and grisaille (grayscale) method that I use to build up the paint before adding color. I also talk about trying 2023-06-01 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Here's the whole process video of "Reflections by the Sea Side" AKA the meat hat painting. I'm jumping this video up in the queue because the gallery wants me to post it on social media to promote the show. But I want the Choir to see it first! 2023-05-27 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Some images of the finished painting. I didn't give this one a name for the gallery. if you feel so inclined, I'd love to hear what you would name it.

Another sweetie watercolor demo! A little different on this one. Instead of talking while I was painting, I recorded a voice over after the fact. I was rewatching Mad Men and I just wanted to watch it while I painted. Sorry.
In this video I'...
