Now, this guy understands values and hues…his things are really simple, but they are so alive. Amazing example of when someone know those two, they can paint with any amount of detail and still have a complete, wholesome picture.

He paints soft-pastels on acrylic most of the time.

I tried to ask a question about where and how he learned painting, he didn’t answer it, for whatever reason.
February 15, 2019 at 11:35 am #782775Some nice paintings. I can’t tell for sure if the softness on quite a few of the pieces is just blurry photographs or if the images accurately represent soft edges in the original. If I had to guess I would say they are out of focus photos.
February 19, 2019 at 3:56 pm #782772I am not sure I understand you contumacious. You mean he might be faking some of these pictures?

No. I couldn’t tell if the softness was because they were created that way intentionally or if the photographs were out of focus. My best guess is the photos were poorly taken.
February 20, 2019 at 1:29 pm #782770I wanted to see more so I Googled him. He makes a comment that his work is digital! Wow. I was surprised.
Happy to say "hello". C and C always welcome.

February 20, 2019 at 3:37 pm #782773Yeah. Wow. Where exactly is he making that comment? I am pretty sure I also read in a comment that he is doing pastel on acrylic. But maybe I am wrong…

Well, if that is the case, they certainly know how to make their images look like real pastels! I enjoy doing studies on my tablet that has a pressure sensitive stylus setup, using ArtRage, in preparation for a painting. The pastel tool does OK. I prefer the look of the oil brush and how you can set it to mix or not mix with strokes already laid down.
Based on how parts of the photos are out of focus, I would have never assumed they were digital. They look more like photographs of actual paintings.
February 22, 2019 at 9:41 am #782778I think you are right about them being digital, though he doesn’t state the medium used on any of his work which kind of bugs me. Still, some great images. Though I do paint digitally, I would personally never buy or try to sell a digital piece. I don’t look down with scorn on those who do. I used to buy and sell photographs but am no longer interested in doing that either. To each their own.

February 23, 2019 at 10:16 am #782774I see now. He probably just said he was doing pastel on acrylic to avoid the frown.
The only thing that would bother me if he did color picker while painting from a digital photograph. Thats kinda of like a cheat, but even then its after all just creating a picture. -
