Painting.
Hi everyone, I'm behind schedule and my inbox looks like this:
I'm clearing my asks, turning them off, and doing nothing but work and will post nothing except direct posts about my work. I'm under a lot of pressure and need to focus.
One more final comment answer.
Someone seemed to be upset about my method of painting the Good Omens art. I thought it was a strange comment, so looked at their feed. All the cartoons they displayed were made in flat color or with the common digital color style that looks like a slick metallic airbrush finish. Which is fine.
But obviously, I chose not to do that on Good Omens.
The painting on Good Omens is more rendered and uses more color variance because I like painterly effects.
I could make everything look slick or flat, and it would take less time. But I want my art to look painterly.
I like paintings like this.
By Johan Kindborg
And this.
By Mary Cassett.
And this.
By Cecilia Beaux.
Lest anyone conclude the use of texture and brushwork is limited to fine art, here is an illustration by Elizabeth Shippen Green.
And Violet Oakley, who was not only a noted illustrator, but one of America's premiere muralists.
So there it is.
I hope you will check out some of the other works by these painters. I think you will be especially impressed by the life of Violet Oakley, who is one of my great idols.
