My mind can see all sort of things in these! Interesting post zorcron
And you can bet that if i leave for a month, two, or three, heck! even a year perhaps!! I'll still be drawing, and as long as that's going on, i'll be back!!!

See you

[Krato]

[Zorcron]

nope, a gallery in the next town over

[BlackDelphin]

You bet i will!
You too though

Nice portraits, but less black please.
Why not use a dark purple, a dark blue or a dark read instead?

[weashell]

hey mate! very promising sketchbook wish i was in that stuff when im 16 =) keep researching and improving your paintings. as i see you like turner much too did u watch his movie made by BBC? its really good. there is a pack including 8 artists like rembrandt and caravaggio. its called power of art i guess. also go for more public sketching please and at least dig some master's anathomy lessons i prefer vilppu's video anathomy lessons! i'll be watching you

[glaudarien]

Hi man, you commented on my sketchbook a while back when i was first starting it up - so though i'd come back and see what your up to. Love those traditional paintings your doing, no wonder they sold quick.. i'll sub this time and check back =)

[Pixie Trick]

Those prints you did on the last page are sooooooo cool! Hehe...not really any galleries in the vicinity, but I think I'm going to see if I can get in touch with the local artist's guild. I went to their site once and I don't think there was one person under the age of fifty, but hey, with age comes wisdom.

Keep at it! Come on, you can't just drop some work on us every month. I enjoy seeing some lovely art a bit more often than that!

[Zorcron]

YO YO YO BROTHAS AND SISTAS OF CA ! sorry ive been out for a while... I am a Counsilor at a local centre for the arts
during a bunch of marchbreak camps super hard work but very rewarding after that week i got super sick and i'm just geting over it now

so i got accepted in to the Art school i wanted ((( NSCAD ))) right now they are reviewing my portfolio for scholarship
second year im planning to take a semester in either NYC / Amsterdam / Paris / London

right now im working out which res ima live in so TIS PRETTY EXCITING I'm UBER PUMPED

so i totally broke out the ol tablet today and decided to start something a little comfortable to get back in the flow

now that i have my shapes and composition its about refining my color palate getting rid of the blacks and sculpting all the sketchy parts



Weashell YESSS THE POWER OF ART freakin love it, ive had it on DVD for a few months now! veryyy goood, ive actually gone to see
one of Simon Schama's Lectures on Turner at the met in NYC (FREAKIN EPIC !)

Glaudarien thanks mate !

Pixie Do it up, the group i paint with ages are 52...60 something ....early 30s ... me and a girl who is 18 age doesnt
matter one bit we all have something to
give each other, older artists have got to pass on the torch at some point

dont worry im getting back in to it



with this painting i really want to finish it up untill i feel like its "finished" so il keep working on it for another few days and see what happens


YES THE BLACKS WILL GO just started adding color from the sketch

[Lav]

wow great news you got there, congrats man! cant wait to see the end result of your last painting

[Zorcron]

got in a bit today

still needs a lotttt of work


thanks lav


the water needs wayyyy more variation

best digi so far imo still takin it to the next level trying to keep it loose enough i can make changes and keep it going

[Pixie Trick]

It's nice to hear that it's not only my community with that sort of age range.

Digi's looking good!

[Zorcron]

few quickie thumb enviros to warm up before i hit up the one im workin on right now

[Zorcron]

alrighty, bored so time to move on... its too busy and the water sucks i fixed some of the balacing issues flipping the canvas back and forth a ton composition wise i think im doing alright though

havnt done a digi with full color for a while though so pretty fun and learned a ton about brush controll. its been good to get back to the tablet

feeling the enviros for a bit then il go back to studying hard haha

[Zorcron]

quick warmup thumb before i start a new painting

off topic :
ive got these ideas floating around in my head for some large scale Acrylic/oil on 6 by 4 foot canvases subject mostly around the super foggy atmosphere and the way the landscape changes with that

done outdoors and stuff ive got to do some smaller scale paintings / sketches / notes about what kind of colors il need to mix up loosely so i can paint fast before the weather changes too much / then im going to pick up the canvases and have all my supplys and stuff ready so i can go drive out and get painting in the land as soon as it gets super foggy i can feel it its the next breaking point with my work im pretty sure to the next level

should be wicked im super pumped

[Zorcron]

from photo trying to get some texture down

bout an hour and a half in

i feel like extending it in to a landscape format and playing with composition

values need a lot of work

[Zorcron]

this one is pissing me off right now ive wanted to drop it a lot but i'll keep going untill i can say its finished

ive probably dumped a good 3 hours in now though it sure doesnt look it

WIP

[SMILEFACE]

Im really digg'n the thumbs an how yer really set'n a mood in these last pieces i havent been on here in awhile but now i got the ok im gunna start yer portrait tomorrow an if ya like it ill paint paint it haha keep up the freak'n wicked awesome rrrrrrrrrrrooocckkkk brother!!!!!!!

[danlucas]

hey there,
thanks for the comment.
your use of color and texture is nice, I like it.

[BlackDelphin]

Well the one with the black that will go away is starting to have its shape, and i'm curious how it will look further on.
And your last one, i can see you are struggling with it, especially when i look at the colour scheme. I for one liked it with more green. Looked more refreshing.

I see you know what you have to do, so i'm gonna cheer you on now

[Lav]

hang in there, i think the end result will look snazzy!
I like how it's coming along, looks like it's gonna have a cool atmosphere to it. I'm also really digging how you did the trees in it

[Pixie Trick]

Right now I think you need to focus on getting down the basic values, shapes and colours before you get all fancy with textures. I can't tell where the light is coming from! The atmosphere is looking good though, I must say.

[Pixie Trick]

*koff koff* Ahem,... posting spree?

[Zorcron]

alright getting back to those traditional roots

Acrylics on canvas


Work in progress 36" - 48" working quite large with this one going to start with the oils on top soon

went out and took a gajillion photos of the fog around the area i live

Pixie yeahhh... im pretty horrible haha il get there ive been trying to do a gazillion things at once right now

Lav thanks looks like i dropped that piece for now maybe il get back to it some day

Danlucas no problem man ! thanks mate

GRANNNYYYYYY hows that course goin man ? you've got some killer work goin on keep it coming you got the drive you got the passion you got the skillz

i never update im terrible >.<

PS: added a thumbnail im really digging it from far away right now

if i do more of a finished series around this piece it really needs a gallery setting standing far away mounted on a wall so you can walk far/close around it

perhaps i will try to get it in to a local gallery as a series im pretty excited working on them right now

who knows though just gota keep painting !

[Pixie Trick]

OMG that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I were you I'd be terrified to do anything to it in case I messed it up.

Hehehe.... I know what you mean about being busy.

[BlackDelphin]

Well that certainly is beautiful!!!!!
And the music goes so well with it too.

I'd suggest you posting the video right here though. if you use and the code after the = in the link (in this case _UBOzklsrAg) you'll be able to click play from here

Back at viewing the painting..it is stunning! I can really loose myself in it, look and look, and look some more. The texture is so calming.
I really do hope you will get this exposed in a gallery, and i am looking forward to your series.

The other speed paints i can see in the other updates have this mood too, but this one really is by far your best so far.

See you!

[Vatsel]

watch out for having too much black in your pieces, but then again, these are kinda old so I can't tell on what level you are art wise.

POST MORE!

[Danny_K]

good effort here as always last piece has something to it I love it!!
