Par Beach Spring 2012 Digital Art

This painting is the initial stages of a developing art works, the first I have ever tried on a digital canvas. I am using Art Rage Studio Pro as the platform to develop the painting and my newly purchased Bamboo Tablet by Wacom.

I found it difficult at first especially as you have a wealth of settings and tools to choose from when using a digital art platform but after the initial hesitations that one feels with a new medium I settled in. This started off   as a sky experimentation and has developed from there. The initial painting is laid out and I have some manipuation to do, plenty of developing and then finishing touches. I expect I will fiddle for hours and hours to come before this is finished.

Here is the first stage, took me about 3hrs to get this far but hey whose counting?

Digital Oil Paint - Artrage Studio Pro

While my studio is being built this is the only way I can paint as everything else is packed let me know what you think!!!!

These are the paints I use in many of my paintings and this is a fantastic set for starting out in oils. Always use the best you can afford, and using artist quality paint as a beginner will increase your confidence with the medium as the vibrancy in artist oils is so much brighter, and you will use less!

Women are from Venus

This painting was a commissioned piece with a brief that it had to be a Landscape but out of  this world and needed to be pink and purple. I decided to do the work in my usual medium and used Winsor & Newton Artists Oils. I completed this in several stages.

I guess this page will feature my art

There comes a time in ones life where technology gets a grip of you and you either have to ride the flow of the tide or get swept away by it, so here goes, my artistic life will now be displayed for all of you to see warts and all.

I decided to plot my artistic journey, from sketches, planning, preparation paintings and masterpieces, expect to see it all the good the bad and the ugly with the odd ramble thrown in for good measure. I am working on developing a series of plein air paintings of Cornwall and I am toying with the idea of an engineering theme also at the moment, seen as I work full time for First Great Western Trains as a Mechanical/Electrical Engineer, expect to see trains.

I am also an avid photographer and I am looking to expand my photography portfolio into a business acumen so again watch this space.
