| Appleseed Publishing The Artist's Magazine Review June 2005 issue Review: From the Field to the Studio: Completing a Large Canvas While small field studies can sometimes be considered finished paintings in themselves, they're usually used as reference for larger works done in the studio. In this program, Jay Moore demonstrates the process of painting a 30x40 inch canvas using one of his field studies as reference — a difficult process since you must redesign the painting to work on a larger scale rather than simply replicating stroke for stroke. What you can get away with on a small canvas, you often can't get away with on a larger scale. Moore allows you to look in on his process from blank canvas to final brushstroke. The program is filled with basic concepts and easy-to-follow explanations, and the execution of the painting is sophisticated, most suitable for the intermediate painter. Cool feature: A highly detailed DVD menu allows you to skip to the right part so you can easily take the extra time you need to perfect a technique. |
