Finals!

Here are my final two digital paintings from this semester. I’m going to work on them a bit more I think, but this is they looked when I turned them in.

The first is a literal interpretation of the idiom “Too many chefs spoil the broth.”  It needs more chefs in it, methinks.

This second is a sort of self-portrait of me running away from digital painting.  Digital painting is very, very, very, very annoying sometimes.  Yes, I know that my far leg looks like a penis.  I will be fixing that.

Oil!

Here are four oil paintings from the end of the semester.  With the final two paintings I final nailed down a lot of the thing I’ve learned this semester.  It’s a good feeling.

I’m working on two more digital paintings for another class that are due tomorrow.  As soon as I’m done with them I’m thinking about putting up a couple posts showing my process for them.  Keep an eye open.

The Unfinished Portrait Of FDR

Here is another painting from my digital painting class.  I did this one entirely with digital watercolor (except for the linework).  Took about 6 hours.  Our assignment was a narrative painting having something/anything to do with World War II.  This painting depicts Franklin Delano Roosevelt just before his death on April 12, 1945.  He was having his portrait painted during lunch one day when he suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage.  He died later that day.  The portrait was never finished.
