In this webinar Steve Forster gives us a taste of his digital creative process, in particular the way he approaches and creates diversity in colours and colour palettes. Starting with a brief overview of differences – and similarities – between the digital and traditional painting processes, he shows how he structures digital palettes when painting portraits, landscapes and more abstract themes. This is followed by a “wild colour” illustration where, building on a value structure (in the sense of Munsell), he goes on to use the full range of colour expression that digital tools provide.
Forward
Forward is my latest digital oil painting completed over the holiday period of Christmas 2023 and into the New Year of 2024. It’s about looking forward to the new year, and not looking back at 2023 in too much detail.
Overall 2023 was a good year, artistically, professionally and personally. But I always prefer to start the new year with an attitude of “ok, well that one’s done, let’s get on with the new one!”. And therefore, we have Forward! Plus I always enjoy drawing/painting backs. 🤷🏻♀️
