Hello and good morning!

I am every day greatful for what God as giving me, Grace of his only son dying on the cross, with my family, and the talent he has given me as an artist. I try to think of other people had how they feel about there family while I am was working on Tas. I am taking a class with Thomas Fluharty on http://www.schoolism.com and he teaching Oil Painting in the Dutch Flemish Approch! Here are some of the master to think of that painting in that way: Kramskoy, Bouguereau, Ingres, Rembrant. Those are some great references and I wanted to post it for myself to look back at and my favorite is the russian painter Kramskoy. Here is the sketch of my teachers Daughter Tas. 

Below here I have reference, sketches and the sepia tones:

I had fun doing this Caricature. My wife said to be careful on how I do some of the special request, and if not pointed out would not notice ( the booner and nipples hard LOL) I included the references I used and also the first traditional Black & white line Drawing, and the coloring is done digitally.

I thought it would be appropriate to show you my step-by-step with painting my Andy Serkis. I have been struggling with finding my style with the involving the new digital medium. I really like to sketch right with pencil first, pen & Ink, water color, gouache, and then digital. I hope you like that I share my progress in this painting. I like that every week on Caricaturama Showdown we all pick the same famous person and Caricaturize our own interpretation!

I try to stay specialized in my art, but I don’t mind a challenge, so I took on a logo design. He wanted something I normally don’t do and that is something that look very simple but it had to be very sharp and everything clear behind the logo. It will be used in a relator video and all his marketing video. here are the steps I took from the end ing results.

I was contacted my a client in West Canada for shift Caricature for Christmas. I Thought it would be fun to show my progress. The final medium will be water color, pastel, marker, and white gouasch high lights.

This Saturday at I will be at Pasadena Community Church 227 70th St South St Petersburg, Florida 33774. I will be drawing owners and there pets! I have done several events like this and have had people line up to have there children drawn on the the spot or order a commission painting!
