TeaKey, I never met Thor, but I'm dying to get over to Oahu and check out the Thor Store! My Hawaiian artist friend, Sam, said it is amazing! JPMartdog, I was in a pool today with a snorkel mask studying the way the wavering light hits surfaces under water. It seemed to actually seperate it out into diffrent colors. Like light through a prisim on a Pink Floyd album cover! Your right, this my be too far down , but I think I'll try some a little bit to see what it looks like... Hey, So I SAW people feeding pieces of bread to several eels in the tidal pools! They slither right across the rocks to go from one pool to another! (the eels not the people) So they CAN come out of the water! Not so sure about them being able to rear up like a cobra, though. I was amazed that they liked slices of wonder bread! |

Aloha Tiki Shark, The Eel's of Kona are like garbage disposals. The eat everything. Go down Ali'li to the rocks next to the Little Blue Church, left side not the right sacred spot, and toss in some chicken bones and see what happens. Sausage works even better! You can practically get them to eat out of your hand! |

Thor, Aloha! THANKS! That's big praise coming from someone as good as you! I hope to make it over to Oahu and see your cool Thor Store soon - I hear it's Tiki heaven! Bambooben, I know where that church is! It's just down the road. (I suppose if you throw old bones off the side that's a scared spot that could lead to supernatural porblems... hmm sounds like another cool painting idea.) What time is good for eel feeding?

I always keep the thought in the back of my mind "Is this painting good enough to be hanging in one of those fantastic Hawaiian masterpiece rooms by Bamboo Ben?"p.s., do you shop at the KTA? Mmmmmm.

Wow Brad! That whole thing just took on a complete underwater hue. It looked really golden before and now it all looks very much underwater. Was that the last step with the glazes the trick or was it just the camera playing tricks? This one came out lookin' really really bitchin' Color glazes!!

Sorry everyone, I know it's been slow going.... but it anit done yet! I was researching the whole "color wash over the under painting thing". I couldn't find much info on a painting process that's supposed to have been around since the 1400's! I must just be a bad net-surfer. However, I did find some info on Pooch's web site. He does these GREAT paintings using this process. He suggested working a mid tone wash over the under painting, then if needed, work out into the shadows and and highlights. I tried this and promptly I screwed up the process by getting too opaque. Pooch has a more subtle hand than I do it seems. Then I found this description from Schorr " ... a detailed monochromatic underpainting in raw umber. after this is completed I than start working my "comic book colors" over this using the lightest washes of color in the dark shadow areas and the heaviest of opaque whites for highlights." So I tried with a bit more success. Here's sort of what I did: It seems that the under painting is worked up form dark to light. Then, the washes are worked from a highlight (not the brightest, but say upper middle values) down to the shadows. Then Ken Ruzic gave me some cool advice about working it up veeerry slowly in many many layers. the kind of art that takes way too much time in this day and age, but is great if you are a 14th century Flemish painter working in a cottage with no TV. All these approaches helped, but none seemed to get me there yet. I guess now comes the practice it till you get good at it part. So, basically, I still don't know what I'm doing, but here's what I got thus far. |

Yeesh! All this talk of butt barnacles, coughin' up smurfs and LLT reclining nekid has got me feelin' a little under the weather too. Good thing I have your beeyootiful paintin' to get lost in and take my mind of the queasyness. If you do that underwater nude commission for Kinny don't forget the air bubbles. I think we all know where they will comin out of. :D You must have hours in yoour paintings. I envy your ability to experiment and put much time into them. So often I find myself with so many ideas I just can't stay focused on one for very long. That is probably why I have so many half finished projects laying around my studio. Your efforts are payin' off in an amazing peice of artwork. I would of called it finished after the first sketch. Hope your feelin better Brad.

Hey Chongolio, thanks... today I'm feeling better. That's good. However, we have house guests, one of my business partners is here to help out with Tiki Shark Inc's accounting, That's good! But, they are staying in the guest room, which is normally my painting studio. So I can't paint till they leave in a few days. That's bad. |
