WARRIOR BEHIND SHIELDS; Digital

I painted a series of digital paintings to serve as inspirational bluesky development. The over all look and feel of the series was very intense so painting the images allowed me to explore some very interesting emotions. I wish I had more time to make the painting perfect but deadlines are deadlines. I could keep refining it but there are more paintings to do. Anyway, the emotional impact was really exciting to develop. The program I used was Photoshop CS2 with all sorts of custom brushes. I worked it just like an oil painting except I got the added bonus of using command z.

  2. I see Rembrandt. Your use of shadow gives this painting a strong voice——there is some deep emotions here. Your work is more than commercial. There is soul here.

  3. Rembrandt is the man. I still remember the first time I saw a Rembrandt. It was a second grade field trip to the Art Institute. I was in awe. I just stared. The group went on to the next room but I stayed behind and just sat there. I was lost in Rembrandt. Still am I suppose. I'm captivated by the light and what it reveals. Amazing.
