David Luce Demo Painting

This is a demonstration painting my friend David Luce did at his artist-at-work painting demonstration at the Getty Center here in Los Angeles. It is an oil study of the painter Oudry’s leopard. A pretty AMAZING study I must say.

Comic Con 2006 Pics

This years Comic Con was both fun and overwhelming as usual. It was great to see everyone making the extra effort to get their stuff out there. I took a few pictures of some of our friends. -Bob

Digital Practice Painting

Hey Everyone,
Walt Disney Feature Animation has asked me to design a digital painting class for their artists. This is a VERY humbling proposition because some incredible digital artists already work there and I am by no means a digital expert. They reasured me that what they want to see is how a painting instructor versed in traditional media translates this to digital media like photoshop. The artists will then take this and apply it to their own projects.
This piece is one of my first attempts at doing a “Painting” in photoshop. I started with a scan of a burnt sienna toned board then tried to simulate the same steps I have taught in oil, gouache and acrylic for years. My overall impression of digital painting is that it’s fun!
