Byron's ArtRage Explorations

[Alexandra]

I don't know why Byron, but the last one makes me want to run out and buy some orange sorbet.
And sit under an umbrella on a lounge chair.
And listen to some big band music.
They are great!

The last one is full of joy. i love the choice of colours. And thank you for the tip for new stiff brush settings for the oil brush!

Testing in the beta with the new stiff brush settings for the oil brush. It gives effects much like a scratch tool once you get the hang of it.

interesting Byron, have to try this. Beautiful result.

Go Byron! Keep going! I like all these directions. Will be interesting to see which you hold onto and to what degree. I really like the approaches and am wild about your color of course.

I find the scratchboard one rather interesting. Feels like one can see the internal colors through the combing. And of course, the combing is conservative and businesslike. While the color is just seeping through and less disguised as the hair thins (at least in my case). I always saw old people as the ones who said 'Screw it, if you don't like me by now. Did it your way far too long.' This could be a graphic representation of that principle. The artist is kicking ass on the accountant, so to speak -- The child returns to take up where it was cut off.

I love all your new works, fun,funky and colourful....the scratch one is interesting and makes for nice texture.

Thanks Sandy, for giving me some good smiles for the evening.

Thanks Tanya - and give that stiff brush a whirl. It's quite versatile.

Thanks Oriane - great to see you stopping by old friend.

Akey, thanks. I appreciate as always the extended commentary. I do seem to be playing and struggling a bit in some different directions, and, well, I kinda like where you landed here at the end. Gave me chuckle, and maybe you're not to darn far off the mark.

And thanks Drawing4Art for the encompassing view for some of the new efforts.

Thanks all, much appreciated.

Lots of black and white metallic ink manipulated with different tools, with a dash of color here and there.
100% AR4. It's better full screen and standing back a bit so built-in visual effects properly resolve.

Thanks Katie. Meanwhile, my contribution to the limit 30 minute thread that has re-emerged. Maybe others will pick it up again just for fun.

Here, just throwing a lot of paint - exactly 30 minutes, no time to clean it up.
