yes! finally some new posts! thank you! it's interesting how you're painting a lot in black and white. why is that? i like these quirky characters you're creating and i think you could go very far with them. you could create a few and develop them in little painterly worlds....landscapes or rooms or still lives or whatever the F...with these characters floatin around... as i always say you're an amazing draftsman and it's amazing how you could just start cranking out photo realist shit with out much painting practice. you can really do anything. i think the more of 'you' that come out in the paintings the better. it will make them more personal and unique.
Thanks, dude. I have been doing a lot of black and white. It's half coincidence, half fear of don't-know-what-the-fuck-I'm-doing. With a monochromatic painting, I can make changes super fast because it's only a matter of value. With color, there's the added danger of the colors mixing and getting muddy. I did some painting last night. Had to blend green into yellow. All the yellow kept turning green. Problem is I don't like the paint to be too thick on the canvas, but so far that's the only way I can get colors to stay pure--by daubing it on all thick and then blending in the edges. That seems like a sloppy workaround, but maybe that's how it's done. I don't know. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to the way the paint behaves. Or I can switch to acrylic. heh.
duuuuuuuuudde you have vision, this is you, no doubt, quirky, attentive and earnest im so impressed, i love all these characters, your imagination is so fertile, dont leave home without it!
on painting technique... i think its important to go with being at your edge and going with a certain flow of comfort in this case... many things get invented based on just learning your way through territory
i am sometimes ashamed of my thin paint, but dont let me pass that on to you... in advice to artists in a postmodern age dunning talks about a student who wants to be vangogh the end of the story he says to the student, something like "what you get wrong is your style" so id say work with your weaknesses as strengths somehow.
i attended a talk with ed pashke http://www.edpaschke.com/home.html he admitted that his work starts as a grayscale composition because he cant work value and color simultaneously. so he glazes his bright color on after the image is formed completely.
