More One Hour Paintings

Sorry I didn't post much last month... I've been really busy!

I had a show with RAWartists and I just got time to post some stuff I did last month.

I'm going to do a few posts so they can be organized better.

Here are some one hour paintings I did in July!

The one above was actually painted on a Pizza Box from John's Pizza in Edinboro!

Live Wedding Painting + Some Older One Hour Paintings

I was recently commissioned to do a live painting of a couples wedding ceremony.

I had no real evidence that I could complete the task, besides showing my post of my One Hour Paintings. Luckily, it was the exact style they were looking for... and they were willing to trust me if I felt confident enough.

The final product.

 The day was June 15th, and location, Greystone Fields in Gibsonia, PA.

 Here is a picture of my set-up.

I did most of the work there, but I took it home to add a few more hours worth of painting.

The happy newily wed couple!


OKAY!

 The second half of this post is just going to be older one hour paintings I haven't posted here yet.

This one is actually a one hour painting I did digitally in Photoshop!
I gave it restrictions by only using one brush, no UNDOs, and I painted it all on one layer.

And the one below ISN'T a one hour painting... just a watercolor landscape I did one evening.

One Hour Paintings

Last Thursday, I wanted to try something different...
So, I went back to my roots and painted some impressionism!

This was about an hour and a halves worth of work.

Then it hit me... maybe I could try to give myself a challenge and do timed paintings for a week!

I really enjoyed doing this, so I may continue to keep painting... we'll see!

I actually did TWO paintings this day of the same spot. The first was really early, about 6 AM.

Around 2 PM, I decided to do another one… it was lightly drizzling… so i figured, “why not.” But, I only got 15 minutes in before the downpour hit me though.

I noticed it dried and thought it was cool how the rain altered the painting.

All of these were one hour sessions only, aside from the rained on painting (which was 15 minutes) and this very last one.

The last was only 43 minutes because I got off work late… and it got really dark outside!

I could not see anymore!

Welcome to the Gun Show

I ripped my pants a few weeks ago… and I decided to make them cutoffs. No one thought I could pull it off.

I did.

With the extra scraps, I cut them up. Then I began to paint. This is the progression of a piece I made.

"Welcome to the Gun Show." Acrylic on Denim.

My finished concept painting.
