‘Real Paint’ Archives
Tamar WIP 01
Friday, August 20th, 2010
Let me just say that it has been an absolute blessing this past week-point-five to, for the most part, just do my own thing when I want, the way I want. I finally broke out the brushes and found I’m not as rusty as I’d feared. I will soon jump back onto a couple commissioned portraits. But first! This is what I started today. It needs work still, but it’s coming along rather nicely. It’s 9″x12″ oil on canvas board. It’s a portrait of my brother’s gf, based on a photo I’d taken of her when I was in NYC sometime last year. At any rate, it’s still a work-in-progress (WIP), but so far so good.
More later!

Z Brush
Monday, May 3rd, 2010
Not to be confused with a silly computer program! She is an actual Z and I am using real brushes. Oil on panel, 24″x 36″
I haven’t posted a painting in a while so I figured a random Monday was a good time to do just that. It’s not finished. I’ve been studying it, calculating plans and angles of approach, talking about the painting, and will hopefully complete it soon. Somewhere along the way I found myself beginning paintings and then sitting back from them for weeks, or months, before pushing through to completion.
There is a good chance the background will change completely and turn more abstract, though I do like the signage in the window behind her. But of course it’s about her, not the signage, so whatever I feel compliments her best is what I will end up painting in or out. *sigh. Some people I could paint all day. Every day. And never get bored. Anyway! On with the show:
I will hopefully be posting more soon, which will mean I’m painting more and that is always a good thing.
Cheers,
