  1. Courtney once told me, smaller the brush, bigger the paycheck. That is the thing I've been working on right now and I think your stuff would be a lot better if you do it too. you really need to define the shape better at least at the focal point. in this case, the girl and dog. The girl is getting there as far as detail goes, but the dog is nowhere near the ball park yet. Your trees even has more details then the dog here. I think if you work on that, your story will be a lot stronger.

  2. Thanks man! Yea i agree about define the shape better especially at the tree. For the dog i know i could work on its detail more. But i never zoom in upclose while i, painting. So i think at least it reads it should be fine. And this painting meant to be a speedpaint, so i only focus on composition and lighting.. Well thanks again!

  3. Agreed Joe. for the amount of time spent on these studies, I think it's important to stay zoomed out as long as possible with a large brush. The dog reads well as is I think.

  4. sorry Joe, maybe I wasn't writing it clear. You don't have to zoom in at all to define the shape. looking at your girl's hair and the highlight area on her clothes on top of her butt, you did a great job by simply use a smaller brush which hold the shape better together. remember what Jhon always said, contrast is the meaning of life! it's not just light and dark, but it applys to everything else as well. brush sizes, textures and all. A focal point is why composition is important, so contrast that with the rest of the painting will bring it out to life. You are starting to do it man, I'm just saying make it more awsome thats all!
