Walking Man

Another piece in my attempt to do a series of simpler, faster paintings; trying to get up to professional level speed. This was my first experiment with masking fluid, so I wouldn't have to be so careful in my application of paint. It seems to be a success.

This one feature's Captain Ivan Spurlock walking down some dusty street in the late afternoon. Getting that shadow looking right was tricky, I actually referenced my own cast shadow on the wall of the local university's woodworking shop.

This is the most high-contrast thing I've done in ages. It was also the fastest I've finished a pic in years, probably.

This pic feels very 70s to me, somehow.
