Happy Labor Day!

This latest piece was done for The Art Order Story Extraction challenge over at www.theartorder.com. The painting is based on an excerpt from the novel "Black Bottle" by Anthony Huso.

Sketches

Just a few sketches and speedpaintings. The bottom two black and whites were done as a 1 hour speedpainting demonstrations at the Art Institute of California, San Diego. I then used one for another demonstration in my Monday morning class on how to add basic color to a B&W image.

Here's a recent personal piece created in Photoshop CS2.

Process

Here is a recent digital painting of Jonothan from the weekly life drawing/painting session that I host at the Art Institute of California, San Diego from 6-9pm every Thursday night. I saved my progress after every 20 minute session for a total of 120 minutes (2 hours) for the painting using Photoshop. I used 3 brushes: an elliptical brush, a textured round brush, and a soft round brush.
