Courbet Copy - Changing to "Procreate" Painting Application

Despite the funny name, "Procreate" has nothing to do with sex, and all to do with digital painting. I exported my image from Brushes 3 and imported it into a Procreate file. I am using that application to continue with this digital copy.

Some Exercises from Michael Anderson's two day workshop on digital painting

Here are some exercises from Michael Anderson's two day workshop on digital painting. I was only able to attend the second day, but I got lots of good exercises and a few new techniques including more understanding of setting up custom brushes, how to use those brushes and managing colors and values on different layers. Thanks for a good workshop Michael!

Plein Air Painting

This weekend I went about 75 miles out of town for a plein air painting event with Bruce Wulff. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time we were there. We fled from the rain early, but I did capture this brief little sketch. The iPad screen looks darker in the bright light, so the coors turned out a bit more saturated and brighter than they perhaps should have been.

Straightening tings out.

Noting spatial relationships.

Placing the eyes.

Refining and working the 5 values.

Tuning the likeness

I am starting to move towards the major details (not minor). I had best take a break and make absolutely certain before going forward that something is not off. More on that in the next post.
