Peter Gric is one of my favorite artists around the world, most of his paintings are about architectures human or landscape,I saw despair on these lines and colors, but that was a gorgeous desperation.
I painted this just to pay honor to Gric with all my sincerity, 3d software had been used.
Watching the film “Knowing” of Nicolas Cage reminds me of this great film actor and his outstanding films.
I watched the film of Nicolas Cage since I was a very young boy.
The first film I watched according to memory, is the “Con Air“, translated as “the prison in the air” in it’s Chinese name. Cage was a tough guy in that film, protect the wake, beat the bad guys and save the day as every film hero did. This was a great film, in 1997 make an airplane crash that good on the film screen could be really brilliant, that tough guy image was remembered by all the audiences.
Face/Off gives us the other Hollywood tough guy John Travolta, but ten more years after we see these films, obviously Cage’s ahead of John.
I’d rather call him Cage or Nick, his first name was too weird.
I had a habit of collecting Cage-films, I have the DVDs of “ConAir”, the “World trade center”, the “Ghost rider”, the “Snake eyes”, the “Gone in 60 seconds”, the “8mm”, the “The Rock”, “The Weather man”, the “Matchstick man”, the “City of angels” and my favorite one the “Lord of war”.
He has so many faces in the films, fireman, Chemist, soldier even angel, we know him form the man he act, or we have no idea about him because he never let the true color come out?
He is a good actor, let’s hope he could bring us more surprise but not old and disappear, I love his films.
I moved to Beijing for work on July 02, 2009. This place is hot.
I did not stop working since I arrived, I am not tired, but don’t have much free time to do what I want, like painting.
This view was created for Wacom manual, our company need a tutorial of how to use ArtRage with a Wacom. Less than 10minutes is what I really spend on this painting.
And THIS is ArtRage.
Use the “paint roller” tool to apply the background color.
Use large size “Oil brush” tool to paint the general color of what’s on your mind, make sure to capture the fresh image on your mind, paint it quickly and don’t never focus on the detail.
Positioning the sun.
Use the “Palette Knife” tool to smear the hard edge of colors, make them mixed.
Shrink the size of the brush, paint more detail on the sky and sea.
Smear them again.
And add more details on the surface of the ocean, highlight is what we need to paint carefully for this scene.
Sign your name, and there you go!
Speed painting was always fun for me, you can show what’s on your mind directly and quickly, with the help of ArtRage, the traditional-oil-painting simulating tool, we can have more fun.
This is the first painting I created on iPhone using the app “Colors”.
iPhone is an amazing device, use my finger to paint directly on the screen is not quite like paint on a Wacom, but it feels great! It is more like easel painting, that may not be a revolution of the digital painting, at lest it renews the way we paint.
I will do more paintings on my phone.
