Aaron Pickens Art: July 2013

http://aaronpickensart.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 29, 2013. 3 Hour study - Haskins Ohio. Finally some diffused light! 3 Hour Study - Maumee River - Sidecut Metropark. 2 Hour Study - Carter Park. This one is all around just bad. Edges need work once again. I stopped a little more prematurely than planned primarily because the mosquitos were simply eating me alive. Monday, July 22, 2013. 3 Hour Study,. 3 Hour Study,. I believe this painting is heading on the right track. Tweaks could definitely be done. I simply wanted to try to paint the tow...

Aaron Pickens Art: September 2013

http://aaronpickensart.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 27, 2013. Art Dump - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. A digital study of a rock as a tutorial to help assist with a digital painting course. A master study of a Rembrandt Self Portrait. First time really using artrage. I unfortunately did not block the color shapes in, and instead went for individual color notes. This is a bad habit I'm trying to get away from with digital. A digital self portrait. Roughly an 1.75 hour study from life. This time in photoshop. An impromptu painting demo&...

Aaron Pickens Art: March 2013

http://aaronpickensart.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 29, 2013. A recent study of a skull. Oil on Wood. Realized after I finished the painting that I accidentally left the overhead lights on, specifically fluorescents. Normally when I work on a still life, I only use natural light for a number of reasons. The two light sources, each with a different color temperature caused my shadows to be less predictable. If I had realized the overheads were on, I could have accommodated a little more. A random digital painting of a futuristic soldier.

Aaron Pickens Art: November 2012

http://aaronpickensart.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 20, 2012. It's getting there. It was brought to my attention that there is a problem with the drawing of the pickle, and that I need to potentially step away from the reference photo and paint a little more intuition. 35 Hour study from life - Graphite. My face seems really skinny in this. Any suggestions are more than welcome. Thank you! Sunday, November 4, 2012. Any comments or critiques are more than welcome! Saturday, November 3, 2012. I like to draw, or at least attempt to do so.

Aaron Pickens Art: October 2012

http://aaronpickensart.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Stumbled into a figure drawing session. I didn't know what the length of the pose was so, I did not spend as much time methodically measuring the figure. Potentially this gestural approach was more beneficial. I still need to get more efficient at establishing my values. A work in progress of me caught in a pickle. Painting is really hard! Critiques are more than welcome! Sunday, October 28, 2012. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Sunday, October 21, 2012. Here is the final ...

Aaron Pickens Art: June 2013

http://aaronpickensart.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 7, 2013. Golden Planet: Work In Progress. An early concept for the album artwork for Golden Planet by Phantasmagoria. Will have to redo the art because the photoshop file became corrupted on my laptop. I recently finished recording the guitar tracks for the album. I think the album will sound half way decent once completed. Here is a sneak peek at one of the songs as a work in progress. There is no bass parts yet, and it still needs to be cleaned up. Thanks for stopping on by!

http://aaronpickensart.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 4, 2013. Office Composition Sketch: I will turn this into an oil painting after I figure out the color. This is more or less the direction I will be heading in. Combining the fantastic with the mundane. A few quick digital sketches to work from my imagination of story telling scenes. Digital Painting from Memory. Small Still life - work in progress. December 2012 - End of Fall Semester. Quick Digital sketch with about four hours put into the oil painting before committee review.
