Mr. Incredible

A cartoon character. In oil. On canvas. Why not?

Mr. Incredible. Oil on canvas, 11x14.
after Brad Bird and Co.

I had some fun with oils. The Avengers was really good, but The Incredibles is still my favorite superhero movie. It just perfectly represents the genre. It's also my favorite animated movie, although I've got a feeling that's going to change with Pixar's new flick.

The Fountain of Wisdom

"The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook" Acrylic on hardboard, 32x40.

This isn't the superhero piece (obviously) I promised in my last post, I will post that next time. This is another acrylic I did in painting class last semester. It was done mostly with a palette knife a similar style as this piece. I am moving toward making oils my medium more and more. Maybe I'll bore you with why in a future post, but I wanted to post what may be my last acrylic for a while before moving onto my oil paintings.

The Stone Table

The Stone Table. Gouache on matboard, 5x7.

There's a mysterious looking slab of stone in a wooded area near my house. I have no idea what it might have been used for, but it makes me think of some of the ruins from England or Ireland. I thought it would make an interesting fantasy type painting.

The Empire Strikes Back

Scene from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Oil on canvas, 18x24
after Irvin Kershner and Co.

I wanted to practice some oil painting. I got frustrated (and bored) with a still life I was working on so I did this instead. I know it's technically a copy of someone else's art (director Irvin Kershner and others who worked on the movie), but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

And here's a piece that I never posted on the blog that I did a couple of years ago. As an exercise in comic illustration, I drew one of my favorite scenes from Empire. It's rough--I drew it as fast as I could. It took about 2 hours.

Still life with Lightsaber

I had to do a still life for painting class. Adding the lightsaber made it fun for me.

From Painting Class

A recent still life I did in class. The object was to paint with a palette knife. We had just finished a few abstract paintings done the same way, so this is meant to have an expressive quality.
