First Paint Commission
June 11th, 2008
So 500posts.com yielded it’s first perk - a paid commission for an architectural rendering.
I actually tried to do this in Painter, but man was the response slow. The original size for this painting was 5400×3600 pixels - so it’s understandable. I wonder how Art Rage would perform…
Anyways, after about 3 hours of wrestling with Painter, I switched to Photoshop - and inside of an hour I had the underpinnings of a painting, and finally feeling like “I can do this”.
The look was obviously inspired by those architectural renders you see everywhere - nothing really fancy there. Overall, it took me about 12 or so hours.
