A digital painting I did from reference I took of a sculpture at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. It was a beautiful statue that I unfortunately do not remember the name or title because I didn't write it down.I have a theory that sculpture is a more forgiving medium to work in. I might be wrong, but it seems that it is harder to see mistakes in 3 dimensions. Don't get me wrong there are some unbelievable artists and artwork done in sculpture, this is one example, another is everything done by Bernini. But I really love sculpture and hope to get the time to do more of it someday.
Wow!!! This is great Dave. The colors and sense of light are brilliant.

ReplyDeleteHoly Smokes is right, this kicks serious butt man . . . beautiful work, awesome use of soft edges and subtle light, reflective light, the whole works . . . DANG!
ReplyDeleteGreat sense of luminosity. It feels like a sculpture too, which just shows how well-observed the light is.
ReplyDeleteDave,
ReplyDeleteThis piece is damn near perfection.
The luminosity, the texture, the subtle color change from the bounce lighting,...very nice.

You handled the lighting beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAmazing piece, Dave! Terrific values & lighting.
ReplyDeletethat is very beautiful
ReplyDeleteI happened on to your blog from a comment you left on Sergio Martinez's blog. I checked out your website and all I can say is wow! This piece captured my interest most of all. I can't believe it's digital. She is so full of soul, I expect her to turn and say hello. All your work has life, but this one, of a statue nonetheless, is almost tangible. I'll be visiting here often. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteThis one keeps blowing me away dave. so many bounces of light. incredible.
