Some Paintings from this year

[ams]

Here are some of my favorite digital paintings I did this past year. I enjoy a variety of subjects so I selected ones with very different subjects.

I work in Artrage Vitae (latest version) 11"x14", 300 dpi (3300x4200 pixels). I don't usually print my work but that gives me lots of option for printing if I really like how one of them came out.

Paintings usually take me between 3 and 4 hours to complete but it's rather a guess since I like to work on it for many small sessions rather than start to finish.

Very good! do you use a Wacom or some other tablet?

I love the garlic, those different textures and the reflection And the iridescent touches on the little dog's white.

 

[Artyczar]

Wow, fantastic!

 

[ams]

Thanks everyone.

Snoball, I don't use a wacom tablet. I have a Dell xps13 laptop with a touch screen and a bamboo ink digital pen. The screen would be a lot larger with a desktop and a wacom but I like the portability of the laptop. I used to take it to my art class pre-covid.

Anne, lovely work! I especially like the still life and flowers.

 

[ams]

Thanks moscatel. I think those two are my favorites too.

All nice but I like the garlic because of reflected colour

 

[ams]

Thanks Wayne. It was fun getting the shine and the reflections for the garlic.

 

[16ga]

Fantastic work. That flower could be passed off as an actual painting.

 

[laf.art]

Love the flower and the garlic

 

[ams]

Thanks 16ga and laf. The flower and garlic are my favorites too.

16ga, I know what you mean about it looking like an actual painting. This software is quite amazing when you are working in "oils."

Garlic's probably my favorite too! Beautiful composition.

 

[Lazarus]

Well done.

 

[Pine Cone]

Lovely paintings — but for me, the portrait was most compelling— her enigmatic expression, the quality of light, everything about it — wonderful !

 

[ams]

Thanks Dm7 and Lazarus.

Pine Cone, thanks for your comment. I liked the portrait too.
