ADRIFT | Concept Piece - Part 3: Painting

Whatsup ladies & gents, here we have the final stage of the ADRIFT concept piece...

As you may already be able to tell this is created using that weird substance known as "paint".  It's been quite a little while since I broke open the acrylics and gave them some attention so I thought this would be an opportune time to do just that.

I love working in color and I love working with paint, despite believing they're two of the most difficult areas of art-making, but from start to finish I had nothing but fun on this.  There's a curious quality to paint that allows it to just give a work life, especially if you've been on a black & white binge-fest.

So starting off I tried to keep the process as simple as possible - with laying the ground down, using simplified versions of the color scheme, and then as things progressed narrowing in on the details, the light laying on the various surfaces, the shadows that light casts, and any reflected light bouncing around.  Mix that together and this is what I came up with.

Hope you've all enjoyed this sneak-peak at my creative process and I'll talk with you soon.
