Art Rage -- portrait videos (Ray Tsang)

I've been using Art Rage for nearly a year now-- really impressed with the natural media look/feel-- especially the oil paints! i will be posting some of my artwork using it, very soon..

until then-- i came across this very talented artist, Ray Tsang, who is using it for portraits

Artist spotlight - Craig Mullins

One of my favorite modern artist's-- a legend in the entertainment industry as a concept artist and designer.. he's also the 'Godfather' of speed painting-- which is widely used by most concept artist's to quickly communicate ideas/composition, etc.. i just love his use of texture in his imagery

i had the pleasure of working with him on 2 James Bond games (Agent under fire and Goldeneye: Rogue Agent) -- he did various matte paintings, concepts, etc..



check out his website-- he showcases both traditional and digital paintings: http://www.goodbrush.com/

Artist spotlight - Carol Marine

..check out the artwork of Carol Marine! i just love her still life paintings! (the way she applies her paint-- loose brush strokes, choices of color, composition, etc..) i just discovered her work about 6-8 weeks ago, and i'm really glad that i did! she's an amazing/inspiring artist!

here is a link to her blog: http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/

i purchased her book (and recommend it!), available through Blurb.com--- http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/972967

'Cherries'

spent about 4-5 hours this past weekend-- working on this still life

..i've really started to focus my time/efforts on getting my work exhibited in gallery shows, competitions, etc.. recently, i entered my work (2 pieces) for consideration into a group show in Bowling Green, Ohio -- and both pieces were accepted! the opening reception was 2 weeks ago-- and the turn-out was great! it was also held during homecoming weekend-- so the town was busy was festivities, etc..

i also entered my work into a call for submissions at a gallery in Danville, IL.. the theme was 'shoes' and i had a painting that i did back in '91 that i dug up.. and re-touched (oils).. i entered it for consideration and it was accepted! Opening night exhibition was this past Friday night and the event went great-- met a lot of people, including a few local artist's.

in my studio, i am actively working on a lot of things! (still lifes, portraits and landscapes) i'm also working on designing a new web site, that will showcase just my fine art (i want to separate my fine art from my professional work, illustration, etc..)

the new site will be: www.chadwgreene.com

anyway-- i'll post pics soon (of the gallery work, etc)
