"LOST IN TIME"

22 inches by 32 inches maimeriblu watercolors.
These two eyeballs and only the two eyeballs I painted awhile ago they have been looking out at me whenever I would go past them and they would seem to be asking hey DUDE are you going to finish me??

Well here it is completed,painted the face in after spattering on masking fluid and saving the white of the eyes by tapeing out the eyes.

Then I placed in some pure yellow over the whole face and dropped in some brown,golden brown here and there then let dry. Then later when dry I removed all the masking and tape and placed in the blue paint on some of the pure white spots so it would be pure blue color with out any mixed colors on some of those blue spots.Then went in and placed in the abstract shapes with shadows then noticed that some shapes appeared numerical so i added the broken watch hand and the shadows below that watch hand.

Corel Painter 11 a.k.a. OUT of PAPER

So here are a couple of DIGITAL WATERCOLOR paintings.

The previous paintings I did as studies for watercolor paintings because once again I'm out of paper!! LOL. So, to keep my brain painting and trying not to lose down time I downloaded a digital art program designed by a company called Corel they are always pushing the envelope of digital art and its looks and reacts as close to traditional media that I have ever seen. The watercolor brushes actaully react to the paper as the "real brushes" they are simulating. The company offers free trials and you get to use it for 30 days with no cost at all. They are hoping that by sampling it you will want to purchase the program there website is here just click the free trials button then look for the program called Painter 11 in the bottom left corner of the page under the heading Illustration and Design.

You are then asked for your e-mail address and from there follow the steps to get the free download I did this years ago with Dial up and it took 15 hours to download. This time it went so fast because we are on medium hi-speed internet I think it took 10 minutes.

The program offers Digital watercolor,Watercolor,inks,pencil,oils,acrylics etc.... and each one does look and act differently watercolors do look like watercolors oils look like oils pretty amazing stuff now I will always paint using traditional methods something about using a brush and the feel of paper when you throw it about, the water moving across the page just the feeling I get is not something I can explain. I love the idea of someone at these manufacturing paint companies or paper companies working there craft to the best of there abilities creating a great piece of paper and then handing it over to me to create something hopefully that others will get to enjoy.

But, for now being out of paper, how does that happen? oh, thats right, I did not order any! so this is a good way to do studies and try out different stuff with out wasting paper and paint.Not that I have any paper to waste.How does that Happen? oh, that's right, I did not order any!

So that being what it is. here are a couple of DIGITAL WATERCOLOR paintings.
All painted using a wireless mouse.

"Kreativ Blogger Award"

Now this is cool, and usually how it works in my home when neat things happen on the internet and I'm painting, my two pictured friends notify me of happenings.
See number 3 on my list to find out more about them.

They let me know that I had received an award from Rhonda and that for me to do my part on this I needed to list 7 things about myself and then select 7 others that I would like to receive this award so I will list 7 things about myself first and then spend the next day or 2 making up my list and contacting my 7 choices.

Seven things about myself
1.The Movie Iron Giant made me cry.

2.Bigfoot to this day scares me.

3.I have a couple plush friends given to me by my wife one for my first christmas with her when she found out I like apes, his name is Oliver. The second one is Dino who was given to me by my wife when my left hand was crushed in an industrial press the doctor recommended a pillow to rest my hand on while in the hospital, so she purchased Dino from the gift shop.

4.I have a mentally challenged brother who I'm grateful to have in my life.

5.I love Rose is Rose, Calvin and Hobbes, Looney Tunes, Pixar, great art anywhere in any style.

6.Whenever I use the word Monster I pronounce Munster.
