Continuing with black and white paint for a while I think. Black and white is about contrast and for me a large amount of mystery as things can be pulled in and out of the background with a few adjustments in value. Fun stuff! Oils, 3.5×2.5 inch on primed substrate. Done on the back of Magic card artist proofs.
I have been wanting to work on my value skills for quite awhile. I enjoy grisaille tremendously and started in around Halloween with doing some spookier stuff. Oils, 3.5×2.5 inch on primed substrate. Done on the back of Magic card artist proofs.
Three more private commissions of oil paintings on the back of magic card artist proofs. Approximately 2.5″ x 3.5″ in size. Please click for better sizing.
A commission from a collector who wanted dragon themed cards produced several new cards and one grand idea. These are all done on thousand year old elixir AP magic cards. Oil on primed substrate, 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
With the advent of the nicer weather, I have been really busy with housework and commissions, leaving little time for personal work. Managed these few more over time. Oil on the back of magic card artists proofs. 3.5 x 2.5 inches.
Fairly finished with these tiny figures and 90 percent done on the fourth. The scene with the horse is not going to fit on the small surface without crowding, so it is out. I have designed a different scenario for the top. The strange postures are because they will be pulling on ropes while another is leveraging a large stone.
Just about time to get to putting this all together. The quarter is there for scale of sorts.
Rainy Sunday afternoon. 14mm dwarves in progress. Quarter for visual scale. These are for the dragon hoard I have been working on for some time. They may be just a tad tiny for the future ideas I have. Bees putty, sculpey/cernit mix 50/50, wire, thread.
Three more paintings for this month on the back of Magic card artist proofs. Oil on primed substrate, size approx. 5×3.5 inches. Please click on picture for better sizing.
