Three pieces. Seemingly an unreachable number when you think about a show that will start by April 30, but it is an eternity when you consider that I just finished a gargantuan 7x5 piece of tedious pen and ink drawing married with acrylics, watercolors, and pencil.
Doing the blue 18"x24" pieces are a cinch compared to the previous pieces. I have my site set to launch this week, and Xavier has come a calling for some project they want me to do. It seems that my Art finally beginning to grow roots and a following.
There are several ways I approach my art - it all starts with the concept: what do I want to do? what medium am I using? what is unique about the piece that will set it apart from the others? Seems like complicated questions, but once you have all those down, it takes a jiffy to get it to pencil.
Then, comes the hue of the piece - what color do you want to use to set the tone of your art? Warm and sunny tones almost always feature yellow, and yellow-orange backgrounds, while colder pieces (which my mother likes) are always set in blues, even purple. If there was ever a technique the Acadamy of Art University taught me, it has to be this because I rarely ever paint without a colored background.
Get set for theruddude.com
Anyway, onwards to more painting.
