Interview Notes
ADVICE
- If I don't work from reference I repeat myself too much, reference makes it believable and helps steer away from previous paintings and preconceived ideas in my head
- Have some kind of goal or direction, pick a theme - otherwise it's too open
- Master studies help
- Take Classes, join online art communities
- See something you like make a note of it so you can be inspired and motivated to paint
- Have a goal or deadline
- Still life helpful to understand how to paint surfaces and how rendering works, study in different
lighting scenarios (5-20m)
- Takes screen shots while watching movies for color and composition and saves into reference folder
- Use a story moment for inspiration or collect from reference to get inspired before starting
