The original artwork took 70 min to complete -- but this video is sped up at 500% and shows the entire process in 12 min

Verve Painter - landscape study #2

Here is another landscape study that I did -- using Verve Painter

For this one.. I wanted to experiment with style a bit and went looser and more abstract with my brushwork.

Here is a link to a video capture that I did for this -- showing my process. (the original painting took 70 min to complete.. this video is sped up %500 and plays for 12 min)

Verve Painter -- first painting (digital still life study)

This was a study (my first actual painting using Verve Painter). My goal here was to learn the software and use a traditional painting as a study/reference. I chose this painting by Carol Marine, (whom I admire as an artist -- check out her work!) -- I purchased this painting from her and it sits on my desk next to me -- so I thought, "why not study this artwork?" My goal was not to perfectly copy it.. but rather learn the software and control the paint -- along with studying how she applied her brush strokes. It was a fun exercise -- and I LOVE the software!.. it does an amazing job on mimicking the 'digital impasto' look that I am drawn to for my traditional paintings and I can't wait to experiment more with this!
