I took part in the recent art evolution challenge, over at art order. I didn’t start with a very good plan as you can see, but I really enjoyed painting this piece. Here are the steps from start to finish.

Another Painting I started by mocking up big shapes in sketchup, to make sure I got the relationships between objects right from the get go. Finished in Painter, since I just like it more now. It’s so great when every brush stroke you make won’t leave a butt-ugly edge you have to go manually fix.
Finally I have something I’ve wanted for a long time, Corel Painter!
Here’s some fumbling first takes on using it.
A horse sketch that I might use as a preparation for a painting, inspired by one of my moms old kids books, tam the untamed.
