Cereal Siege painting video

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtbMbAtG2Yk

Here's a quick video I made about the making of the painting 'Cereal Siege' and the Thoughts & Progress booklets I sell.  I still have some booklets left... for now.

Also, if you never read the article I wrote about what influenced the painting, here it is again: http://www.jonodoiron.blogspot.ca/2014/07/cereal-siege-essay.html

Cereal Siege - color studies



I've started work on the 'Thoughts & Progress' booklets for the 2 new paintings ('Cereal Siege' and 'Sunny Side Corrupt'). What stage of the process would you most like to see? What questions about the paintings would you like answered? Please let me know and I'll make sure they're included. (You can see booklet examples here: http://jonodoironstudio.storenvy.com/collections/117461-books )

 
Above: professional Illustrator, Charles Vinh, whom I learned from during the making of 'Cereal Siege', added on a stage in my process called 'color studies' (or, color thumbnails). Small studies to come up with a color scheme  for the image that will then be expanded upon in a larger format. Bottom left is the final line drawing and next to it is the final tonal.

Cereal Seige: revised color and tones

Learning lots from illustrator, Charles Vinh, (http://charlesvinh.daportfolio.com/) in the Illustrative Painting course I'm taking at Syn Studio. Here's the revised rough color, tonal study and under painting of 'Cereal Siege' still in the works.

Cereal Siege

I'm simultaneously working on 2 paintings right now. Just finished preparing the surface of the new one (my final project for the Illustrative Painting class at Syn Studio) with gesso and all done the planning. Almost ready to paint - my favorite part of the process. I included a sneak peek of the rough color study. The painting is called 'Cereal Siege'.
