Another Photoshop Painting

Campus Cash - Photoshop Painting

Here is another painting executed in Photoshop. I did the piece for a marketing poster for the Card Office at North Georgia College. I do like to paint in Photoshop. It's getting where more and more I use it to set up a painting.
It has been a so-so day today. It seems as if I'm stuck in quicksand and whatever I do makes no difference whatever. Oh, la la la.

PShop Painting Update

Here is an update to my Photoshop painting that I have been posting. So far I have about two and a half hours in it. The lines are perspective line in an upper layer that will be discarded.

Have a lovely (it's really storming here) Good Friday.

Mixed Media

I'm posting a mixed media painting that is transfer, acrylic, oil and collage. The background is an acrylic medium transfer of the Martian landscape courtesy the Mars rovers. The Jeep also is an acrylic medium transfer. These were made by coating a photocopy image with acrylic medium; then affixing it to the support. After the medium dries, the paper is wet and rubbed away, leaving the image in the medium. I tint the medium before coating the photocopy. Even though the painting is only months old it is already show signs that the surface is suspect.

Also, an update of one of my current Photoshop paintings. I'm starting to work on the space around the figure. I've been looking at Klimt and want to do something patterned or decorative.

Have a good, good Thursday.

Catching Up

It's been a few days since I posted anything and I a little at a loss. I've been keeping up with the blogs I follow and appreciate your diligence in posting something for my entertainment. I've been working away at a drafting project and as is usual just before I was to send my first approval submittal to the engineers, I'm talking about my finger moving toward the email send button, I received a call from my customer sending me off on a complete reworking of what had finished and breaking it apart to realign it with a new plan of scheduling.

Here is a portion of an elevation and a wall section before "remodeling." I have tried to keep my hand in at some artistic activities. I have posted here a sprayed figurative piece, liquid acrylic paint, airbrush, brush on a panel.  

I used a drawing produced in a figure drawing class for the model. The drawing is a fifteen minute study and I was very interested in the shadows of the chair back falling across the model. The chair belonged to an artist friend and he had painted the chair. I tried to capture the flavor of his work in my painting.

I've been working on some of my Photoshop paintings also. This is the first stage of one and I will post the stages as I complete it. I can work quite quickly but I run Photoshop on an old G3 Mac which is slow saving and opening files. It's fifteen years old and only a 233mhz processor but still an excellent art machine.

Thanks for stopping by.

Redux

A re-post of the portrait executed in Photoshop. I save the photoshop file as a tiff and then converted it to jpeg format on the computer I use for posting. Seems to have cured the problem.

Good Monday.

For this Blog

This is a painting created for my blog. The background is made up of several photos. the VW is painted in Photoshop and is saved as a Photoshop file for future use and I will probably revise it for another work. I thought since I posted a link for some contemporary reggae yesterday: today I will post a link for some pre-Bob Marley reggae. It has a great bass line.

 

Good weekend and enjoy!

Miscellaneous Items

I'm busy, busy these days grinding away at my CAD work station. I thought I would take a few minutes to post a couple of items. The first is a painting I executed in photoshop. The colors reversed when I uploaded the file to Blogger even though I used a web safe palette, hummm. I had this problem before, Oh, I'll post it anyway. Any ideas why, I would like to hear. I'm going to execute some Photoshop painting especially for posting mainly for the practice and I like to do them.

I'm also posting another piece of working background music I'm enjoying these days. Enjoy!
