Weekly BobBlast Issue 519

Brothers Talking Series, Painting Demo Part Two


Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!

In the last BobBlast, I talked about a new series I call "Brothers Talking." I have four of them! So my painting intentions are to weave memories and feelings, as well as communicate my experiences as the middle child in a family of five boys.


In this week's BobBlast, I am finishing the painting that I started, titled "Five Boys on the Farm." I am building on the first step–collage and black, white and grey brushwork. This painting is a part of a larger series, all tying together as Brothers Talking.


Watch the demo!


After the painting dried, I continued working on it with water soluble crayons to add color. Then added graphite and charcoal line work and scraped and scratched. I must say, I am happy with the painting–it matches my title and intentions. Next I will hang it up with the rest of the series to see how they all look together!


Stay tuned to the next BobBlast, where I will continue with our exploration of the "16 Graphic Design Compositions."


To learn more about making your painting memorable, come to my Monthly Demo on July 17th and watch me paint and talk about what I call the WOW factor. See you then!
