Oct 26 – Misty Light on the New DVD

The DVD painting is coming along well, and now the second layer of color has been added over the stronger hued first pass.

No details at this point, and still more to do to reduce the color intensities in various areas (can we say “purple”?), but the basic time of day is now coming across clearly.

The filming is going quite well, although my painting has been slowed down by “life events” of late. I’m hangin’ in there, and can see the light at the end of the tunnel–and it isn’t a train coming! One good thing is the loss of weight–I’m down over 25 pounds and with exercise and good nutrition, continue to find curves and places I forgot I had.

And here’s Onslow sound asleep yet again–ah, to have that ability to just leave all worries behind and go “toes up” for a good night! He’s actually curved around my hip as I sit in my office chair–those are my jeans, and that’s the black arm of the office chair going off the top edge. Comfy, Onnie? Yeah, me too. Fur kids. Gotta love ‘em.

Oct 17 – The New DVD’s First Painting – In Process

I have been working on the first painting for the newest DVD, and it is really fun! The canvas is an 18 x 24 inch panel, and is being done in oils. I’m focusing on how to compose a painting, how to paint using the Color System, and in this case, how to specifically create a misty light situation across distance in a landscape.

At this stage, I usually call it “being in the Uglies”, but even now, you can easily see the harmonious colors and related shapes, although the edges and details are long ahead and yet to be found. I’ve done about 40 minutes of filming at this phase, and will be editing for content and quality when I go into the “cave” to work on the master movie files.

However, for this DVD I’m actually doing the editing as I shoot each sequence, which seems to keep me more focused on what I need to convey to you, the watcher. Below is the painting at an earlier stage, showing how I cover the canvas. Of course, the vocal commentary while I paint is continuous. And yup. There are definitely outtakes–such as when the canvas fell off the easel!

So, come with me on the journey as I complete this painting and the next one for this new adventure! I am quite sure that the second painting will be done in acrylics, so both media will be well represented. And the Color System crosses all media, so that’s not going to be an issue, is it?
