Re: Spearo Art

Those are pretty cool. Looks like you are using graphite, scanning, then colorizing them in photoshop using fills and brushes. They've got good energy to them and I like the looseness.

You have quite the eye. That is exactly what I did. Started messing with photoshop a year ago. It's wicked fun!

Haha, wow. Thanks.

Yeah, photoshop is a great tool/medium and what I really appreciate about what you're doing is that you are revealing the nature of the medium. So many people go into the program with expectations of more traditional mediums. Look forward to see more.

Re: Spearo Art

Tried my hand at some watercolor's during the storm. My wife hooked me up with the supplies and some inspiration.

First is a Juvenile BSB. The second is a Koi and the Third is a navy hard hat diver.
