Video's.

                  Well I have managed to have one video posted so far of this current project. I would have a complete video but the camera I' am using is a +Samsung USA  and is about 10 years old. With a future new camera I will be sure to have video +Tuts and video progress of my paintings posted soon.

                  Now the other day I was getting my blog registered with all of the major search engines. As I was doing this I came across a young women with the same last name as myself and was also an artist.

                 Her name is KATH HASTINGS and on here blog she has these awesome "Iconic Toxic Drums" Paintings.

                                  I wanted to share a few of the ones that stood out to me with all of you.

        
                    Now these are just the few that I picked out that I enjoyed, but don't just judge on these two go and take a look for yourself at her other works.

We have color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are a few shots of the current state of the panting.

  

Bio-Mechanical Dry Brush Oil Painting

                                 

              Here Is a video as I continue on my current painting. I' am currently shooting the next video right now and will have it uploaded as soon as I' am done.

Progress.

          I got some painting done last night. I also found an old camera so today I will be recording my progress and will post the video when it is complete.

New commissioned work thanks to the blog readers.

      I' am very happy to say that thanks to some viewers I have 6 new commissioned projects. Three of these are photo realism dry brush portraits. The other three are abstract bio-morphic paintings in oil. The good news aside from all of the obvious reasons is I now have a price range.


      For a 24x18 canvas oil painting the starting price is $100.00 the price value may increase on the amount of fine detail needed to complete the painting.


      For a 18x12 canvas oil painting the starting price will start at $20.00 the price value may increase on the amount of colors and fine details needed to complete the painting.

      These prices are based on what other readers commissioned their paints for. There is a price break if you commission multiple paintings at once. The price break starts at a 15% for three.



       If you would like commission your own head to the contact me page for details.

Update on current project.

Here is the current state on the dry brush oil painting.

The theme is bio mechanical. I also have the painting of +David Tennant and a pencil drawing of +Lisa SIMPSON  done by commission.

Both of these works are currently on display.

Current Project.

                 Currently I' am working on a bio mechanical dry brush painting in oil. Sadly I' am have some     issues with my camera right now or I would add a progress photo. Current items in painting include (wires,skull,cogs,bolts,screws etc.) the painting is going to be my third attempt at dry brushing

                 My first painting with this technique was of +David Tennant from +Dr Who which did not come out bad at all but showed I had much room for improvement. The second attempt was of this man.

                  This was just a photo I came across while searching +Google for "portrait photography". I just thought the wrinkles and hard to soft shadows would prove as a good test. I spent two hours on the painting and was very happy with the result. This attempt was light years better than my +david tennant painting. After finishing the painting I had given it to a friend because they had liked it so much. Because of this I only have a image I took with my phone that is only a portion of the full painting.

                   So once I see this person again I will be sure to take a digital copy of it for this blog.

Cheers,

Joshua

A little about me.

      I' am 28 years old, I attended +School Of The Arts until 2002 and joined the Army in 2007. During the past 6 years I have been looking into new styles of painting and i believe I have found one that I can really get in to.I have been an artist for about 20 years now and I have figured why not share my art with everyone. So here you are, I hope you enjoy.
