Yes, I’ve been really diving into the YouTube content recently, and I’ve been getting a lot of really great feedback. In just a couple of months we’re up to almost 200 subscribers! Thanks to everyone who has been watching new content, and tuning in to m y weekly Live Stream Painting Demos as well (which are going to be held at 12:00 PM EST every Sunday.
I’ve been getting into some fantasy fiction myself recently, and it inspired me to create this piece during a recent Live Stream. It’s so vital to me to be immersing myself in content like that, to lose myself in a beautiful fictional world every now and then. It compels me to visualize it, every character, landscape, and scene, and eventually, it compels me to paint it.
Whether you’re here because you love fantasy art, or because you’re an artist yourself and you’re looking for inspiration (or both), I think you will benefit from my weekly free Live Stream Digital Painting Demo, which it streamed to YouTube and Facebook every Sunday at 6 PM EST!
I’m super pleased to be finally getting this thing off the ground. It’s been a long time coming, but I really wanted to get it right, and make sure your experience on this site is as streamlined as possible.
