Starting a new digital painting series

This is a doodling around draft image, and as you can see, I'm still learning this medium. And hoo boy do I have a long way to go. But I have a series of illustrations in my head that I really want to do, so I think it'll be worth it to spend the time to develop a new style to do them in.

New paintings from my Toronto show now online

on my website. I've collected the paintings in the show under the following link: Elaine Fleck Gallery - November 2013

The show is still up for another week or so in case you're in Toronto and would like to go see the paintings in person. The paintings do look so much better in person than they do online.

When my friends came to the opening they were all commenting about how they loved the texture in the paintings and how they were surprised to see it because it doesn't show up in the online photos. I'm not sure how to capture the texture better, but maybe it's something I'll have to work on.

Moving photo posts to Tumblr

My work-in-progress photos often look pretty craptacular when I post using Blogpress & Blogger, so I'm going to switch to Tumblr for those.

I'll still post on this blog with announcements and when I post the photos for finished paintings because this feed is what I programmed to show up on my website home page. 

Update: haha, whoops, here's the link for my new Tumblr: http://marcel-g-art.tumblr.com/

Boreal skies II - Underpainting workinprogress

I often wish I could say it's finished at this stage, but really, it's nowhere close, knowing how the paintings look when they're finished.




Also, I've deleted all the social media apps off of my phone in an effort to avoid being distracted while I get ready for this upcoming show, so my twitter feed will be quiet for a while. I'll keep posting my progress to this blog though.

Cheers,
Marcel
