Painting Demonstration

Okay, here's an online attempt to demonstrate how I paint by using the Direct Massing in Technique. By clicking on this painting, you will be taken to a (simplistic) six step process. Please leave any comment or questions below.

Hey there,
Thanks for the painting demonstration - I'm an art student and I found them to be really interesting. You've certainly given me room for thought on some of the next paintings I'll be working on next.

If you got any time I'd like it if you saw some of my paintings - I would like another opinion outside of my university and friends and would appreciate your thoughts, because I really like your work. I'm always interested in how contemporary painters use paint in modern times.

Brillant work

Hey Morrison55... pleased to hear that the demo was of interest. After viewing your accomplished work, I'm sure the Direct Massing in Technique (COLOR-MASSING) will be a meaningful addition to your painting repertoire.
