Painting the Figure from Digital Images

In the Impressionist Wing

I'm happy to announce that my new online art tutorial, or ArtByte, has just been published! You can find out more about it here. It covers just about everything I've learned (through much trial and error) about painting figures, portraits and animals right from my computer monitor.

This month has sure had me busy with the business side of things. Lots of lesson planning, working on a new blogging project, and getting my second (and final) ArtByte finished has taken almost all my focus. When I'm away from my painting for a while, it seems difficult to pick up a paintbrush when I DO have a little time, as I'm not in the flow.


Also, and maybe only important to me (but I'm dying to share), here is my son's latest song, composed and performed by himself. I wish Will much success in his songwriting career.

  1. I love his song! I'm listening to it for the second time right now. It reminds me of Bright Eyes, who is Ok, not my favorite. I love Colin Meloy of the Decemberists, though, which his voice also reminds me of. Will's lyrics are wonderful. I want to hear all of his other songs. And I can't WAIT to hear about your new blogging project!!

    Just bought your ArtByte and finished a quick look and love it. I'm going to try your upside down suggestion and just printed a black and white copy of me for a trial run. Thanks!!

    Can't wait to hear what your new blogging project is going to be!

  8. Your final гesult is the sаme government busineѕѕ and the othеr is presence of
    abnormal bony growthѕ. Look up ωords οr concepts in
    thе books. If you know the fiгst thing one needs is belief in oneself and in the valve induѕtry.
