Lego Duck

Posted on June 12, 2017 by Wess Foreman

I chose the subject matter on a whim really, but I'm glad I did. Painting small live objects (as opposed to painting from a photograph or computer screen) is a valuable exercise for the artistic mind. There's just something different about it---if nothing else, it presents a nice change of pace (though I'm sure there is something more to it than that---I'm just not putting my brain on it at present).

Anyway. Lego Duck. Or chicken. Or bird---it doesn't matter to me. I like how the painting turned out. I've added the painting video below. Thanks!

Untitled Cityscape

Posted on June 6, 2017 by Wess Foreman

This one is something of a throwback to an earlier painting series of mine---my Civilization series---featuring bright colors, bold lines, and a particular primitive painting style that I quite like. Perhaps I'll do more of these in the future....especially if this video gets some love (thumbs up and comment, please?).

While waiting on a replacement sdcard for my dslr camera, I used my cellphone to record this painting process (thus the wider angle of the lens). I think the quality turned out well and since the paint palette is also included in the shot, maybe the wide-angle lens is a better way to go .

Vaughen's Lounge (small version)

Posted on March 20, 2017 by Wess Foreman

The original "Vaughen's Lounge" (still available here) was painted on a large 36x48" canvas and featured a loose, playful style which I wanted to recapture in a smaller size. This one came together quickly and I like how it turned out.

It's been awhile since since I've painted a dog portrait without it being a commission. This one went quick. I completed it in two painting sessions, and I achieved the somewhat abstracted, somewhat off-kilter look I was aiming for. The simple orange/blue color scheme works great. What else can I say: I am pleased with this painting. (video of the painting process will be uploaded to my YouTube channel in a few short hours) Contact me if interested in purchasing this painting or commissioning one of your own.

Through the Wild Wood series

Posted on January 31, 2017 by Wess Foreman

This series began two years ago, really, as a set of four 36x24" paintings which were painted all at one time, the idea being they could be displayed as a group or individually. I had originally called them "Paysage Energique" (Energetic Landscape), but I am renaming them as "Through the Wild Wood---large". Here they are (all of them still available, by the way):

"Through the Wild Wood series---large", 36x24" and $500 each

The new set of Through the Wild Wood paintings are smaller, at 8x10", and available in both vertical and horizontal formats. I painted a batch of ten each to start with. These paintings are all similar in style and color and subject matter---indeed, they are painted in batches to ensure the consistent look across all paintings in the series (see video below of the painting process)---but they are each original pieces. Due to the nature of this series of paintings, I will not be posting each specific painting, only these few examples of the painting series---you understand.

Additionally, because of my rapid workflow and because they are painted on canvas panels instead of bulky traditional canvas, I am offering these 8x10"/10x8" paintings in the Through the Wild Wood series at a lower price-point than other paintings of this size and I am also offering free shipping! (Thought I'd make it easy to say, "yes.") Anyway here are the smalls:

Through the Wild Wood series---small, 10x8", $50 each w/free shipping

Through the Wild Wood series---small, 8x10", $50 each w/free shipping

And finally, here's a little video of the painting process. (If you've been enjoying my videos, please subscribe to my YouTube channel to be notified when new videos come out! Oh, and here's the link my YouTube channel: youtube.com/user/wessf. Thanks!

City Park Bridge, no. 2

Posted on January 26, 2017 by Wess Foreman

I painted this image once before in a large format---this one is a more manageable 16x20". I achieved the texture with a combination of paint splatter, manual dotting with a brush, as well as using a sheet of bubble-wrap like a stamp, creating the overall "screen" effect. I really like how well this one turned out. I will probably be doing more in the future utilizing the bubble-wrap stamp technique. The video of the painting process is below.

This is the second painting I've done of this image---City Park Bridge, New Orleans, 16x20"---painted on a smaller canvas than the first time (which was closer to five feet square). Halfway through this video I discovered that I was missing the footage of a crucial step in the look of this piece: a bubblewrap stamp technique.
