Painting sessions from last 3 weeks

2012-02-03T13:25:00.000-08:00

I'm missing one painting between the time that we painted eggs, and the translucency study. It was the first session we did of a translucent object- I learned a ton from it and will post it later when I have access to it again.

Not Still Life Fruit

2012-01-07T14:54:00.001-08:00

I tried to paint something imagined- it's really hard! These two paintings are for a fun project with a friend of mine here in Oakland. It was pretty humbling, but I think I realized a lot of things I want to try and learn.

Character Zbrush Sketch

2011-12-10T01:39:00.000-08:00

Did a character head sketch in zbrush after work. I haven't sculpted in a while, so it was really fun to give it a try again.

haven't been sketching much as of late- here are a couple from thanksgiving break

Paintings this week

2011-12-04T21:57:00.000-08:00

I helped out with a church charity auction and did a couple of pieces for the event. I donated all of them with exception to the apples and milk jug painting. Two came with home made frames as well- they made a couple of bucks for some families that could use some help during the Christmas season.

Drapery

2011-11-18T10:12:00.000-08:00

This weeks painting session: cloth. The studio at work has a nicer lighting set up than my apartment. At home, all I have are tungsten lights, and everything looks really washed toward a warm weird color like the last two paintings.

Orange and Cloth

2011-11-16T18:17:00.000-08:00

Practice Study from last week. Yikes!

Pears

2011-11-06T01:12:00.000-07:00

I found some pears at work that nobody ate during the week and brought them home to do another practice painting. Wanted to give cloth a try.

Weekly Painting

2011-10-21T10:31:00.000-07:00

This weeks painting was based around doing dark subjects.

Extra stuff

2011-10-21T01:00:00.000-07:00

Here are some extra things that I hadn't posted. The top one is a small painting I did on a piece of scrap board a while back that I never posted because I didn't like the apple. The middle is a sketch from this week in response to some crazy blues and greens that have been showing up in the morning skies here. The bottom one is a drawing on an board that goes along with a story idea a friend and I had discussed.

Pomegranate

2011-10-06T01:27:00.000-07:00

Quick painting of a pomegranite that I bought last week. I tried painting softer than usual on the subject- The bad quality of the picture actually helps with this one! The real painting has less blue in it and is a little more muted.

Sketchbook

2011-10-03T08:22:00.001-07:00

I started a new sketchbook in September and have made my way through a third of it, or so. The pages are thicker so I'm using ink, acrylic, gouache, watercolors, pencils- whatever I feel like packing in my bag. It's been pretty fun, but kinda sloppy too. I have a ton to work on, but I'm happy with how enjoyable it has been lately.

We did white on white again this week- I learned a lot from last weeks approach and feel like there was some improvement!

2011-09-23T12:19:00.000-07:00

This week's painting session: white objects.

2011-09-17T01:09:00.000-07:00

The egg painting was this week's painting session. It's small, probably 4"x4", due to I could only paint for a little bit today. So I decided to paint the entire painting in a tiny space with a big brush- I didn't really think that one through. I painted the other two after work with stuff I found in the art studio and the kitchen.

2011-09-10T19:32:00.000-07:00

Just did a quick painting of three pairs. I take pictures of these paintings with my phone and sometimes the colors, contrast, and quality are pretty inaccurate. Anyway, this one took about 30-40 minutes. I was trying to move away from my habit of noodling things too much.

2011-09-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

Another egg painting for fun. This one was way more of a struggle- I don't think I approached it well. I wish I could just use simple strokes, but I messed up the painting early and continued polishing a turd until I kinda realized what I had done.

2011-09-09T10:27:00.000-07:00

This week's painting. This was a super fun/challenging subject- we will do another egg next week!

2011-09-03T12:18:00.000-07:00

I went to do a landscape sketch this morning- it was hard. I learned how much I struggle with simplifying shapes and colors- it was a good excerise.

2011-09-02T21:41:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick still life I did at home- just for kicks.

2011-09-02T18:12:00.000-07:00

This weeks painting- we used natural window light. We painted for 1.5 hrs like all the other paintings. The subject is a giant bulb, two plums, a lemon, a cup and a kettle. The lighting was difficult on this one, but a lot of fun.

2011-08-26T16:36:00.000-07:00

This week's painting. 1.5 hrs- it's a welded statue of a robot. I was struggling with the subject and received some great help- you can easily spot which strokes aren't mine! I learned some great lessons about value and laying down the brush!

2011-08-20T16:06:00.000-07:00

This week's painting session. oil on board- 1 - 1.5 hours of actual painting. It's a bunch of baseball equipment if you can't tell what the content is. The baseballs are those triangular things- which is how they are shaped in real life.

2011-08-14T21:43:00.002-07:00

Here are a couple of small paintings from my sketchbook. Starting to practice painting here as well. The flowers are watercolor and the Japanese doll is a cheap gouache.

Trying to learn to Paint!

2011-08-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

starting to learn how to paint-This is a still life study of about 1.5-2 hrs (oil on board). I've been attending some painting sessions once a week at work and I'm learning a lot! The paintings are starting kinda ugly, but I'm improving. Hopefully I will be able to have a lot of updates in the coming weeks-Also, this was taken with my iphone so the quality and color are a little off.

2011-03-05T02:12:00.000-08:00

Here's my first reel for this year

2011-03-05T02:08:00.000-08:00

Here are some drawings from my last sketch book.

2011-02-25T14:19:00.000-08:00

These are WIP environment pieces for "Butchered Meats". The top is mostly painted with the exception of an rsl shader base for the brick which I turned into a texture-the chicken is temp. The bottom is the gym interior i remodeled and shaded. The floor is painted/has textures. Everything else has a slim shader on it that varies per geometry piece- it's procedural/painted mix.

2011-02-25T14:16:00.000-08:00

This is a cg still I did of some rocks my mom and I found at the Oregon coast

2011-02-25T14:12:00.000-08:00

This a lemon tree that I made with all procedural (slim) shaders with a slider to age the tree

2010-02-10T23:02:00.000-08:00

Okay so Didn't plan on where to write for these posts. Anyway, here's a rug shader (diffuse map painted by Tyler carter), a paper collage monster, a sketch on gold matte paper, a Zbrush bust designed by Tyson Murphy for Moi Para, and some board shader/textures.

Shader/texture work from the fall

2010-02-10T22:59:00.000-08:00
