Sneak Peak - Started with Color

Started with color this time, no overlay layers or black and white. It's been working out amazingly so far and I'm liking the way its turning out.

New Years Update - Time Lapse Painting

I'm quite happy with this, it was a total time of 8 hours as I found out when I compiled all the video files. After I started this little speed painting, I couldn't stop thinking about what it had the potential to be, so I've been working a little bit on it for a few weeks and recorded as I worked each time. The subject was just something I came with while painting. You'll notice that the bats in the background and the mask are revised several times and just appear, I didn't record those parts because I was being so indecisive about the look and kept starting over. Once I settled on something I liked, I started recording again. I'm not sure if it is apparent from the footage but my strength cuts off when I start adding color. I have so much trouble separating colors from each other that I just see general warms and cools. I can't judge for myself if I have 3 different tints or shades of blue... they all just look blue to me. Thats what red-green color blindness does I guess. It makes things pretty tough as an artist but as a handicap, I have a few techniques I can make use of. I actually wound up going to a website and selecting an analogous color scheme to assist me. This is what I sampled while adding the color. It definitely helped me!
