Atelier interactive demo


Tried to get the palette in there. The only thing of note is that I'm occasionally spraying the thing with water. This somehow re-hydrates the already dry (but not cured) acrylic. Making it workable again.
I also only used a big flat brush. Even with fast work, there's little reason to go smaller. It makes you think in planes and directionality and helps prevent excessive noodling.

oil speedpaint 4


I added raw sienna this time and it took me way longer to do. 35 minutes. Why raw sienna? Why? Maybe it was because I had little idea where I was going when I started.

Oil Speedpaint 03



13 minutes for this one down to 7 something. I will eventually post the finals. Enough of this for now. Tried to get the palette visible, as limited as it was. All of these were done with
  • Ivory Black
  • Burnt Sienna
  • Titanium White
Just to get a warm cool mix.
I think the hardest thing about these was the fact that I was doing them flat on a table and I couldn't get around to the left side because the camera & light were in the way! All my brush strokes kinda went from left to right. Unexpectedly frustrating.

And another oil



19 minutes compressed to 7. Better white balance this time.

Alkyd & Oil



10 min, down to 7.5 min. Should have a few more like this soon.
