Fun with Color Charts
No website updates with news or art in awhile, which I apologize for, mainly due to the beast known as color charts.
I really had no idea what I was in for when I started doing these things. First I forgot to gesso my illustration boards, so after I went through the misery of taping the grid on my cut boards, I realized I needed to remove the …

New Studio and New Work Arriving Soon
Sorry for the recent lack of artwork and website updates. As some of you know, I had just recently finished my studies with Jon in Dallas and I’m back in Phoenix again, but I’ve been busy getting my studio prepared and ready to rock and roll. As of this point, the walls are primed, ready to be painted, the holes are patched, the rats are dead and I think the …

Making the Move
Well, my time is up in Texas. I wanted to thank Jon for the wonderful instruction I had received and I feel confident that I can continue the workload on my own. It was definitely a great experience to be able to pick Jon’s brain a bit on the different struggles and lessons he had to absorb and learn, but the thought of home with hockey nights with the teammates …

Learning to Oil Paint is Fun, Plus Cast Painting Update
Well, one thing is for sure, when it comes to oil painting, there was A LOT I didn’t know. Now when I say a lot, I mean a lot, it was almost overwhelming.
This cast painting is now on it’s fifth incarnation, I believe, and everything about it has been daunting for me. I never knew exactly how much information needed to be processed in order to make …

The Importance of Color Temperature in Painting
I wanted to combine an update and a lesson all in one post here. As you know, I’ve recently began my cast painting and it’s been a thrill. A lot of issues are coming up for me I noticed though, one being I have a hard time concentrating with all that information coming in, and two, I suck at determining color temperature right now.
I’m sure it’s something …

Deep in the Throes of Oil Painting
What a wonderful time the last couple of weeks have been. I’ve been deep in the study of my new cast painting I’m completing. It’s definitely been a new experience for me, I’ve always viewed oil painting as this wonderful, impossible gift, and while it’s certainly hard, I’m finally understanding some of the concepts involved.
I consider myself a natural draftsman, someone who is particularly skilled with the …

Awesome Week So Far!
It’s been a great week everyone. I sold a couple drawings over this past week and things are really starting to get on a roll with this website. I appreciate the trust you have in purchasing through this new sales medium for art, and I’m sure it’s a scary process not knowing if what you are buying is actually what you are getting, but it’s a trust barrier I am …

New Cast Drawing Well Underway
Before I start, I wanted to apologize about this picture. It is actually a week behind where I currently am at on the drawing. You can at least receive a glimpse of the process behind the cast drawing. This one is being completed in sort of a quasi-site sized method. It’s not entirely site sized though considering the subject matter and the drawing are on different planes and not directly …

First Cast Drawing Almost Finished
Hey everyone, my first cast drawing is almost completed. Unfortunately I need to grab a few shots of it still, but I had a picture to throw up here anyways just to show me at work. Sort like an action shot if you will. It’s of me diligently working at my cast, trying feverishly to get it done in between my numerous video game breaks and cricket hunting expeditions in …

Going to Dallas Today
There will be no updates for the next 5 days as I head to Dallas to plan my move.
I’m excited, I can’t wait to see what Dallas has to offer and I know I made the right choice to make the move after getting to watch Jon paint on Friday at William Whitaker’s workshop here in Scottsdale.
I know Jon is just excited as I …
