The puppy is trying to steal my soul, I can feel it. Oh sure he looks cute and cudly now and a litte cnfused but I know that he is really just like the rabbit from Monty Python's Holy grail; A vicious creature. Sorry, I either have not had enough sleep or have had too much caffeine, maybe it's both. |

GROG counted 7 waterfalls in LLT's painting, too. But, GROG see how it can be five as well. It's his "artistic" use of perspective (or lack there of) that is throwing us off. Wow, you're going to add color to this?!!! Boy THAT should really make it pop! DAMN THAT LITTLE DOGGY TO HELL!!!!! It will haunt GROG's dreams the rest of GROG's life!!!

I might seem like a dipshit for asking this Brad, but won't acrylics be rather opaque over this exquisitely detailed under-painting? What do you think Ernie? Wouldn't translucent oils be better? |

WOW!-That's hazy, foggy, dreamy, sleepy looking work there, bro--I love it!!!! The 'haziness' and the slightly askew Rydenesque realism lets one beleive he is actually there with a thin, reddish membraneous glaze on the eyes. HUH?-what the hell did I just say? OK-I'm no art critic but it's still awesome! |

Brad did his last painting building up colors in acrylic from an underpainting and it turned out AWESOME, so I'm sure this will be incredible as well. I've never painted in translucent oils, so I couldn't tell you if that would be better or not, but I think what's best for each artist is what medium they are comfortable working with and what will give them the desired effect they are looking for in the finished piece. And, Brad handles the acrylics JUST fine. The good thing about acrylics is that you can add water and dilute them and use them like watercolor and build them up in layers to whatever level of opacity you want, or you can use it straight out of the tube and paint opaque. And if I remember correctly back from painting class in college, there's also a gel medium you can add acrylic to that allows you to build up translucent layers, but I've never used it before. Judging by Brad's past work, I don't think we have anything to worry about (except that damned dog!). Keep it up Brad, it's looking great so far. I haven't done a serious painting in years, and your stuff is definitely inspiring me to pick up the paintbrush, but unfortunately we're in deadline HELL at work, so I'm stuck drawing Matt Groening's yellow people 'til late in the evening 7 days a week right now. Thankfully, the damned movie comes out in July, so there is an end in sight, but I hope I have a little time off before I have to go back on the series. Maybe I'll come crash with you in Hawaii and do some painting, but not while you have that damned dog there! (And yes I know it's not typed in GROG-speak, but Hodad asked ERNIE the question) Here's your thread back Brad. :) |

Ernie - I'll have to investigate this gel that mixes with acrylic to create transparent layers. Are you sure it's not called "water"? Hmmm... Best luck on the yellow cartoon people. I'm one of the many millions waiting for the glorious incredible perfect animated movie in July! Anyways, while your waiting to see color on that damn dog, here's some entertainment from that A-mazing group Don Tiki! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNe0oNlVaUU aloha~ |

There is a doc. Called The Treasures of Long Gone John (.com) coming out and it shows Todd doing a painting for John sped up. That was the first time that I saw the underpainting used. Don't fully understand it but the clues given out makes sense. Anyways, I'm sure the painting will be tops cause it already is. |

Liquitex has an acrylic gel medium that is pretty good....Water works fine too,but the gel medium really seals it in and you can get it in matte/satin/and gloss if you wish...Water's the best way to go as there's no cleanup and I've found a bit gooey-not as smooth as just water...There's also an acrylic and water-based flow improver for blending and such that dries into a nice coating...In Santa Ana about 3 miles from my studio they have a display of the Treasures of Long Gone John(some of 'em including Ryden and Schorr's work) and clips from the movie.I may go check that out this weekend before it goes down...Missed the opening night that had 2 free screenings of the whole movie! |

Tiki Shark Artist, your painting with color creeping in, wow! The wait has been kiling me but that underpainting you did is top shelf, looks like you've been doing them for years. I really think painting with the subtleties you do in acrylic has got to be harder than painting in oil, that could be my total suckiness with acrylics though. I've definitely been inspired by what you do to try some acrylic work again, trying to do one of those skull paintings right now with the water based stuff. I've been trying hard to keep my fingers out of my paintings lately for fear of cadmiums and nasty heavy metals. Is that a concern for acrylics? I love to finger blend. Looking forward to this piece progressing, it kind of takes the series in a new direction with the weird puppy and big cast of characters. I'd love to see the robby robot drink waiter tiki painting come to technicolor life sometime to. Nice sky! |
