I was intrigued and watched for several minutes until I got an opportunity to speak with him His enthusiasm was immediately apparent He was full of questions about various aspects of Painter’s inner workings It was obvious that he possessed an innate understanding of Painter’s expressive tools Over the years, Jeremy has been one of Painter’s principal goodwill ambassadors His good-natured enthusiasm has been responsible for launching many on their creative odysseys, with Painter acting as their compass Jeremy has taken both his enthusiasm and teaching experience and poured it into these pages And you, now holding this book, are about to be the beneficiary of his efforts If you are considering starting, or are already on your own creative odyssey, you couldn’t be in better hands

noticed this abandoned bike just sitting there with flat tires just waiting for me To most people the life had gone out of this bike, but I saw that it still had potential to bring joy I captured the image knowing that one day I could come back and enjoy the ride again The final painting is a 30 Â 45 Master Oil Interpretive Painting on canvas.” Figure A2.21 Red Umbrella, original source photograph

are in unusual and bad weather I was out with a friend in San Francisco and was struck with the lines in this scene I didn’t like the construction scaffolding in the background, or that I didn’t have a subject in the foreground, but the lines were a good start I capture scenes and bank them knowing that I can complete them at a later date Digital photography has made my work come alive and gives me the opportunity to perfect an image or painting that was not possible earlier in my career On another rainy day I happened to see a lady walking down the street with a red umbrella, and I followed her for a short time waiting for just the right light When she walked under the marquis of a hotel entrance the overhead bright light hit her umbrella and it came alive That was the shot I had been looking for to complete this painting I simply painted out the scaffolding then used brushes with an Impressionistic style and my image was complete In 2007 I entered the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) competition for the first time in 11 years The judges seemed to like what I was doing and all four of my images went into the Loan Collection.” 280 www.ebook777.com Free

wanted to create a scene that had the same feel as Toulouse-Lautrec’s work I used the same background from the Elsa painting (below) for this one The source of the texture was ballgowns on a clothing rack Keeping backgrounds you like in a separate file is a great resource to turn to I created a full size paper texture template to add the calligraphic script on the left of the painting I also used a Spotlight effect to give the painting the feeling that the ladies were lit up from the stage lights.” 282 www.ebook777.com Free ebooks ==> www.ebook777.com APPENDIX STUDENT GALLERY Figure A2.27

Times of Elsa and her Friends I made this painting during one of Jeremy’s collage workshops During the creative process I ended up making 39 layers, including paper textures, multiple images and glazing Collage is a wonderful technique to have Sometimes I find that images supplied by a client are too old, too small, or too out of focus to be used in a fine art piece as a single painting With collage you can bring all of the client’s loved images together and create a treasured painting.” 284 www.ebook777.com Free ebooks ==> www.ebook777.com APPENDIX STUDENT GALLERY Figure A2.30 Roper,
