Last weekend I taught my class again lessons of the Fantasy Art Master: Frank Frazetta. This time the format was a weekend 1 on 1 experience in my studio with the talented @scherdy

We had blast painting this beautiful figure from @mindwork.studio for the second time based off another piece of artwork from the legend Frazetta. Thank you again to @frazettagirls for sponsoring my class at LVO through a generous donation of books depicting the artwork large and in accurate color.

I wanted to share this work in progress for this Roman centurian I am painting for a collector. In particular the cloak is ready for a unifying glaze. The wool texture was painted using the series D brushes from @artisopusltd which made it quite enjoyable.

A close up of this bust I painted from @cultofpaint. I really liked devising a clever way of painting the faceted gemstone and creating the appearance of transmitted passing through it. I did a tutorial on this for @miniaturemonthly for those who are interested.

I met Byron at @artisopusltd while I was at @adepticon and he gave me a set of thier series D brushes to try out. I think these will be amazing at applying different textures to models! I already have some creative uses in mind I want to try. Thanks for the brushes Byron!
