I think I mentioned every now and then that I have this unholy tendency for using rubbish to do art on. The "canvases" for this series of tree sketches is packing paper primed with wallpaint. I also used some better transparent gesso on it after sketching the drawings with coloured pencils, which improved the handling significantly, but as you can see, the paper has folds and warps and some crimping at the edges. Most of that is hidden now that I matted them from their about 17×25cm sizes to 30×40cm - and matting anything makes it look sooo much nicer! - but I really have to stop doing anything but the least important tryouts on this stuff. I used to see character in the paper upcycled this way, but I think using the good materials is better for everybody, most importantly, the work itself. That being said, a few weeks ago I felt a need for enormous trees, rendered a few in some AI and used those as a basis. The execution is all me and I think I have AI mostly out of my system by now.

Realism is hard for me, but the challenge is always fun. Week Two. Playing along with the Get Loose Challenge hosted by @kellyhoernig.artist and @sandikeene. Here are all of their challenge details: “We will paint the same reference photo 3 times per week working from loose to loosest in our own style using our favorite colors. Let’s see what happens! Use the hashtag #getlooseartchallenge and let’s create loose watercolor happiness!” #getlooseartchallenge #looselooserloosest #kellyvssandichallenge #loosewatercolorflorals #looseningupart #unfoldingstories #arttherapy #pocketjournal #unfolding #unfoldingjournal #watercolorjournal #raemissigman #artjournal #artjournaling #artjournalpages #artjournalpage #visualstorytelling #paintingloose #artistsoninstagram #paintstudy #paintstudio #instagramartists #makerofthings #artjournalingdaily #creativecommunity #colorcrushcreative #maker https://www.instagram.com/p/CeGeg7WLEVU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So excited to show you all some of the results from our first paint study! For those that don’t know, I host an art group on discord where I work with artists to improve our skills including weekly painting studies. For many of them this was their very first time doing digital painting and I am so proud of their work. Be sure to check out and support the other artists in the group and if you would like to join in on the fun, check out my Patreon Mentorship tier. It’s a great little community for artists of all skill levels where we share our work and give critique, discuss technique, work through problems, and help eachother become better artists. And it’s working! I can’t believe how fast they are improving. Patreon.com/noaheisenman or use the link in my bio!

30 Day Art Challenge | Day 5

Feeling much better about this! I've learned to leave myself 20-30 minutes of my allotted 2 hours to go back to my piece the next day or with fresh eyes so I can see easy improvements.

I managed to improve her right eye but didn't have enough time for the left - so she's a little lobsided.

But, most girls are so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Caravaggio: Master of Light

I didn’t know Caravaggio was about that life!

Frequently arrested, constantly involved in scandal and controversy (including murder!). The 16-17th Century Italian painter led a wildlife. From painting violence to enacting it—In the hi-definition of tenebrism, a gloomy painting style which used chiaroscuro to dramatically emphasize the contrast between light and shadow—No one could escape the exclamatory scenes of art imitating life.

Evan Puschak, director, writer, and editor of Nerd Writer, examines the artist’s use of this style to escape the need for exterior scenes that used field of depth to establish the subject’s dimensions. This shift allowed Caravaggio to send us inward, pulling the characters he painted forward for us to view, in relation to light and shadow—Fittingly many of his subjects were religious, coupling the technical theme of light and shadow with good and evil. 

A perfect match for figure like Caravaggio who seems to be at home in renaissance wing of any museum or on the cover of a Westside Gunn album.

Happy belated New Year everyone! One of my resolutions for 2020 is to set more time apart for personal pieces and studies. These four did I paint last year, and they all took about an hour. They’re all referenced from my Lonely Planet calendar. Can you guess where the photos were taken? :)
