PIZZA PAINTING WITH A CREDIT CARD by Tom Brown


"PIZZA PIZZA"
8x8 inch original oil painting
by Tom Brown
SOLD
To purchase this tasty painting email tombrownstudio@cox.net

Can you paint a pizza using just a credit card and pizza box? Watch my YouTube video and see. (Just click the type above this image or Google "Tom Brown Art Notes".)

For fun I did this palette knife painting with a credit card instead of an actual palette knife. The video shows how. A pizza box was the painting kit that held a canvas and palette of paints.

To get the full story on how I approach palette knife painting, see my online tutorial "PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING". It contains two entire landscape demonstrations with a palette knife, including recipes for important color mixtures and the step-by-step progression from start to finish.

"PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING" is an eBook. (A book that you read on your computer. Or you can print out the pages for hard copy reference.) This eBook is delivered by email. To order it send a twenty dollar PayPal payment to kaybrown@cox.net and specify "PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING".

"COLOR MIXING MADE EASY" is another eBook that will be useful if you have ever struggled with matching exact colors in your paintings. Color mixing is something many artists struggle with (especially greens in landscapes), but it is SO EASY when you understand my simple approach. To order this lesson send a twenty dollar PayPal payment to kaybrown@cox.net and specify "COLOR MIXING MADE EASY."

Thanks for stopping. Don't forget to check out my latest video now.

AFFORDABLE IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR PAINTING by TOM BROWN




“ROADSIDE ATTRACTION”
5x7 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown


Trucks and cars occasionally whipped past as I painted this from the edge of a rural road. But this was too good to pass up. The trusty painting kit that I keep in my car made it possible to set up and capture this scene despite the unlikely location.

For this painting I used the same lightweight metal paintbox that I used at the abandoned airfield in yesterday’s blog post. In moments I can set up to paint. When I’m finished, I simply close the lid and everything is packed to safely transport home.

Once again I felt it would be of interest to other artists to see photos of the actual scene, along with the painting as it developed.

Enthusiastic replies continue to pour in about my online art lesson on “COLOR MIXING MADE EASY”. Again, thank you all for your kind words; I wish I could answer each of you individually.
