BLUBLU

An incredible artist whose work I think shows a dedication to his craft. There's something attractive about seeing the blood sweat and tears in the work. Its the same reason I can stare at a Velázquez's globs of 360 year old dried paint for hours.

Rough Fruit Coffee Mug study


Painting and drawing on the computer is more efficient in our business, but the pleasure of a physical brush hitting a surface and spreading paint shouldn't be underestimated.





Then you have the spuds of extra paint left on your palette. In photoshop you can just hit delete. In the real world it's a bit messier. So why not recycle that left over paint and create a spiky demon? Amazingly, my cheap sketchbook accepts paint really well.
