Here's a master copy of a piece by the great Dean Cornwell, done for an assignment in Painting class!

The main purpose of this was to get the look and feel of traditional brush strokes using digital tools, which is a ton of fun to do. If you're interested in it, I'll be making short tutorials over the next 4 days about how I got the painterly brush strokes in this, which will be posted on my blog. The first one will be posted tomorrow, you can check it out here: [link]

This piece was a bunch of fun to analyze compositionally too, Cornwell's arrangement of shapes and values is really masterful, and the limited color palette is quite powerful. Overall a great learning experience!

Hope ya dig, and have a dandylicious day! :)

Painter, Intuos4/Cintiq, 20 hours

Man this is exquisite. Cornwell is one of my favorites and in my opinion one of the most skilled artists of that time and yet you never hear/read about him. I am super super impressed with the way you have captured his style of defining form with brushstroke; I'm particularly enthralled with the still life on the bench next to the figure. Can't wait to check out the process on your blog! :heart:

Totally agree, Cornwell was/is one of the best for sure, it's a shame artists go so unrecognized.

And thanks very much, glad you like it! The assignment was specifically an exercise in defining forming with brushwork, so that's awesome you mentioned it.
And I actually totally forgot about putting the process on my blog, haha. There's not too much to show but maybe I'll toss it up there sometime.

Thanks again! :D

It would be great to see! I learned a lot from the brush stuff you put up there but it would be really cool to see the progression of this piece specifically!

Thanks! Mr. Cornwell was indeed a master of design, great use of the print limitations of the time.
