    Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

    Superb example of “Value does all the work, but colour gets all the credit”
    I took a photo of the screen after your painting was finished then I converted the photo to black and white and your painting was an excellent value representation.

    Instead of a black and white study which would be fun, I would rather see a Sepia based study or maybe a sepia and ochre but that is just me. Also a night time scene that is rainy and wet would be fun.

      @mabyonedayicanbehappy I said what I meant. However you are partially correct, I would use it as instruction to do a similar but different scene for myself. I have no interest in doing any image I see on youtube or anywhere else. Would rather do my own images.

    My first portrait was of Marilyn Monroe, black & white from a black & white photo. It was crude in style, but, it looked just like Marilyn. It got me off to a good trip with oil paints.

    @moonbeamyall 4 года назад +1

    I have never hit subscribe button as fast as when I heard you said "I'm not a fan of blending" because I REALLY love paintings that looks like shapes of colors and if you see the painting up close it would looks like jumbled color but if you take a step back you could see the whole picture. Also I have never heard of the tips you gave throughout the video and that helps a lot!! Although I paint as a hobby and not being too serious about that, now that I've found your channel I think I might improve my skills a little. Aah, sorry for babbling too much but I've never been this excited for a ling time. Thank you for the vids please keep making these vids!!

  • @renzo6490
    @renzo6490 4 года назад +1

    Take a photo of your palette showing all of the paint colors.
    transfer photo to your computer or keep it on your device.
    Edit photo to gray scale ( black and white )
    You will see each color's true value.
    A note on pronunciation.
    Dissect is not pronounced the same way that bisect and trisect are.
    The difference is that there are two s’s in diSSect making the prefix of dissect DIS and not DI.
    BI sect is to cut in two pieces.
    TRI sect is to cut in three.
    But the prefix DIS has the meaning “”to undo” as in DIS appear or DIS like or DIS agree.
    So, dissect means to unsection or to take apart.

    Funny, this was one of the first experiments I did myself as I "self-taught".
    I say that like I have actually achieved a level of competence, but I can assure you I'm a long ways off of that... Hehe. I come from digital photography for about 20 years. Applying that to learning to sketch and color.
    But I did find it interesting. I used only 3 colors and did a bit more blending than this, but it did have a fun color remapping look not too dissimilar to this.
    Great exercise.
