| Fantastic 60s. 2010. Gouache and acrylic on bristol board, 11 x 17". |
Three out of Fantastic Four ain't bad. Here I am portraying everyone but Sue Storm, who (fortunately) was modeled after the lovely Danielle (whose birthday happens to be today—happy birthday!).

ReplyDeleteAwesome art as always! Its very cool to see your process stuff! One question, though, why do you use watercolour first, before the gouache?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the awesome work man!
Thanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteMiguel, I use both in the underpainting, mainly because I have a burnt sienna watercolor tube and a burnt umber gouache tube. The general idea, however, is to keep the foundation very thin, so the paint is watered down quite a bit for both mediums.
Bernie Fuchs visit you at night Paolo? Or was it Coby Whitmore ?
ReplyDeletein all seriousness, I fell over in awe when I saw this ...
I have a question regarding color studies: Do you print out your digital color sketch? Or do you keep a PS window open?
ReplyDeleteNarco, I usually print them out, but this one was so simple, I didn't bother. Sometimes I paint over the prints as well, which helps me match color. I've also been using my iPad to view color studies and reference as well. Helps keep things organized.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the answer paolo, keep up the awesome work! :D
