Painting Demo of Exploring Chimney Rock



Well, the videotaping and editing stuff was all Greek to me the first time around (see post below), and still seems to be - especially since it's been a long time and I have a new computer.  Soooo, I am just posting a simple dissolve animation to show a brief summary of what was done to create the painting.

I attempted to videotape myself painting this mini. But because I hold these little boards while I paint on them, the constant movement made it too distracting to learn anything from. I'm not sure if it'll be possible to get good video of these; I'll work on it.

Painting Demo of Festiva Maxima

Welcome to the first live recording of how I paint.  Videotaping was a breeze.  Getting it onto the computer - more like a cyclone.  It took so many hours to get the video footage downloaded, compressed, encoded, formatted, imported, exported and uploaded again 
(not necessarily in that order - some of it I couldn't explain to save my life).  
My head is spinning and I've started thinking about taking up a new career in film making.  Judging from the choices I made for formatting this thing though, I think I'll stick with painting.  Hopefully my next movie posts will be better.  

If you'd like a high quality video and sound package together, you may purchase and download the demonstration for $25.  Email me if you are interested.
