Developing Digital Painting "Spring"




I was not quite happy with the weak composition of the "Spring" as shown here at the bottom. So, I cropped it and developed that into a horizontal painting. Don't know whether it is any better. As I kept working on it, a face started to show up. That face resembles that of "七爺“ (Seventh Brother), a deity in the temple in Taiwan. Suddenly, the picture takes up a totally different direction. Spring carries a different meaning with erotic implication.

Digital Painting Practice





It has been snowing for a while. Cooped up in the house. Good time to do digital paintings. From top to the bottom: Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring. Each one took me about 90 minutes to do, except Spring. I got fancy with it, and keep evolving it.

More landscapes digital paintings



One can sit at the computer and whip out these fictitious landscapes in no time. I did "Winter" and "storm in a Northwest City" in one afternoon. It is just so convenient.

Pretty Picture?


Don't like what I did. So, here is the new version. It is so easy to evolve a painting using digital painting, changing canvas aspect ratio, changing composition...etc.

Impression of Utah



Two years ago, we went to Utah to see my sister and brother in law. My brother in law, Dr. Lin, took us to Moab and arranged a very memorable trip to Arches and Canyon Lands. I painted these two using digital painting. The second one is a little bit Diebenkornian.

Just want to paint pretty picture



I get more and more into digital painting. Just want to paint something pretty, I did this seaside picture pretty much in 3 hours.

I did print some of my digital painting on canvas. Although it still does not have the feel of "substantial" of a real oil painting, it is not too bad.

Monk and Bird 2



Yet another version. Cathleen said that I drew the monks head like a Japanese mang-ga. Click the picture to enlarge.
