Here is about an hour of painting in less than a minute. Paints used: Titanium white, Ivory Black, Venetian Red. (Cobalt Blue brought in during last 10 minutes of painting). I am enjoying the painterly process, and exploring limited palettes. Not my best painting, but a great learning experience.

About the Author:

I grew up in the Atlanta, Georgia area (small town called Lithonia to be exact) and started drawing at an early age. After high school, I entered the commercial art program at Pensacola Christian College. There I was able to work as an illustrator in the art studio of A Beka Book, where I worked for 3 years. After graduation I pursued a career of freelance illustration and continued learning my craft by studying with great artists and illustrators both past and present. I am fascinated by light and how it relates to edges and color. My goal is that each of my paintings capture the emotion of the subject, and not just the mere superficial facts. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if I can help in any way.
