The past few years, I have written an annual summary post at the end of the year. 2020 has certainly toppled a lot of expectations for how the year should have gone. Most everybody felt a lot of negative events versus positive. Myself included. Here’s my attempt at wrapping the year 2020. The short story... Continue Reading →
Adobe Fresco
“As Above So Below” created in Fresco with adjustments and gradients added later in Photoshop (desktop). In digital drawing apps, I might be one of the few that prefers Adobe Fresco over Procreate. While I enjoy Procreate, I find myself using Fresco more for its simplicity. Fresco was initially called "Project Gemini" and combined the... Continue Reading →
The Grievers Art and Digital Paint explorations
Oh snap! I guess I had this post in my drafts for over a few months and never got around to publishing. Created in Adobe Sketch, then finished in Adobe Fresco using some of the oil painting live brushes. I had a lot of issues with it initially in Sketch. Luckily the new tools available...

Luckily I got my iPad recently and needed another opportunity to learn Clip Studio Paint. CSP is available as the full version... Continue Reading →

“Dreams of Spring” tiny gouache painting process
At the beginning of the year, I had my heart set on starting a daily small painting project. I felt that if I could produce quick paintings I would level up immensely and become a speedy, efficient painter able to whip out art projects left and right. If time managment could be personified into a... Continue Reading →
Finish What You Started, part 2
Annnnnnnnnnnnd we're back! In case you need a refresher, I am slowly reworking and finishing paintings that I have abandoned in last year. So far, I have focused on the first one. This post will show the finished results of those efforts and the next painting (or two...maybe three) left on the queue. The next... Continue Reading →
