Video Demos



This is a super high speed time lapse of a cheetah painting I completed in 2011. This is about 2 and a half hours compressed to 7 and a half minutes, starting with a blank panel and ending with the completion of the underpainting stage. In this stage, I paint very fast and loose, saving the details for later.
The final image can be seen here.

This is midway through a caracal painting. I've already completed the underpainting, and am adding fur.

This is midway through my pintail drake painting. I have completed the majority of the painting and am adding depth to the feathers.
The final image can be seen here.
