The Jazzman


Oil Painting - 20in x 20in.

I think I'm getting much faster at this painting business. This was done from start to finish in about 10 hours straight. I still need to learn how to make things sharper, and the characters need more detail but I'm not sure if the brushes at my disposal can allow me to do this. The one error that is easily mended is to first paint a background color and then draw/paint characters on them -- this is probably the first thing they teach in art school, but then I never went to one. That should probably make things look more polished.

Also, I wish I could play smooth jazz like Kenny Burrell or Scott Hamilton, sigh.
