You can probably guess that I'm experimenting with video techniques, and I'm planning to produce one myself, with coverage that a visiting video crew could never get. I want it to be really interesting, not just for the first watching, but for the 20th.<br /><br />Drew, I didn't know the blue-sky background was called a "skybox." I just did it to make the photo of the maquette look better. It may have also reflected a bit of light into the shadow.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-73016765249465705772011-02-17T09:49:23.946-05:002011-02-17T09:49:23.946-05:00Why are you wearing a thick wool hat inside your s...Why are you wearing a thick wool hat inside your studio?

I watch = I learn<br />I would really, I mean really really love a video about a painting from the very beginning, (client phone call), to the very end of the work.<br />with you explaining what's in your mind, drawing sketches, preparing your canvas and the whole painting process and technique (paint, mediums, brushes, etc). I think it would be a full circle along with Imaginative Realism and Color and Light.<br />Like Jared Shear said in his comment: I know I would pay!<br />Can't wait for tomorrow video!<br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069365716039887816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-4539883301429104372011-02-17T03:56:43.677-05:002011-02-17T03:56:43.677-05:00Wonderful video!!

Is there a chance that you'll make a picture album out of all the scientific illustration you did for e.G. the Scientific American or Ranger Rick one day?? It would be great seeing all of your palaeontological artwork gathered in an album.<br />(Instructional videos on your process would be a brilliant plan as well!!)Christian Schlierkamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486181495859389834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-92205702715487789422011-02-16T21:58:14.203-05:002011-02-16T21:58:14.203-05:00Wonderful!

I always love seeing the watercolor and marker comps.<br /><br />I noticed you used a skybox with the maquette this time - what benefit did that serve? I've seen model railroad builders use skyboxes to add some realism to their displays, but I'm not seeing the benefit for it.<br /><br />I suspect it's to create the reflected light color you can get from a sky, but that's the only guess I've got.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262476114387821096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-84977884825815289722011-02-16T14:31:20.999-05:002011-02-16T14:31:20.999-05:00Thats great! thanks for sharing, I cant get enough...Thats great! thanks for sharing, I cant get enough of these insight videos :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725923842553704177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-20304809435382070712011-02-16T14:21:30.398-05:002011-02-16T14:21:30.398-05:00Really good painting.Really good painting.David Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220236704236960910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-3633535058266133372011-02-16T13:33:55.958-05:002011-02-16T13:33:55.958-05:00Very cool James.....but you leave me wanting more!...Very cool James.....but you leave me wanting more!<br /><br />Is it not time yet for an instructional video series??
