quit nice, what is the process overlay and manipulation of multiple shots? will you then paint the final digital product analog(ly)?

[Dan Kitchener]

Thanks

No the technique is simply using a photo as reference, like life drawing, I have it open on my 2nd monitor, then in my first monitor have a blank canvas in photoshop, i then sketch it out using a watercolor brush and layer it up until it's finished, it's not traced or has any photographic elements in it alt all, it's in essence a life drawing.

Outrageously good Dan. Technique conquered.

it's insane how you do it Dan....as elwheel said Technique conquered.

Thanks guys,I love painting like this, really makes you observe the colours and the way the light interacts within the image, great for honing visualization skills !

It translates so well to canvas and to street / wall work to, albeit on a different scale

It's good to see drawing skills mate...

[Dan Kitchener]

Thanks Ian, it's all about drawing for me, basis of everything I do!

Here's my latest speed paint, digital study, this is the sketch for a large canvas version I am planning on painting soon!

It's Great Eastern Street / Shoreditch / London

' Empty Space '

Stunning. You seriously know how to capture light in your work.. Love your style, too.

[Dan Kitchener]

Thanks, I really love light and it's affects on the image, it seems to work especially well with a rainy, water soaked scene, lots of lovely reflections and blurs!

I am going to paint this on a large canvas and possibly as smaller studies too, so will post the finished work on here when it's completed!
