Ala Prima

This was an Ala Prima experiment. I painted directly on the pre-stained board with no preliminary drawing. It took only 20 minutes before the first break. I was so happy with the freshness at this stage that I stopped and considered it done. If you are interested in the original contact me at carlostaylorart@gmail.com

 It reminded me of Toulouse Latrec so I Google imaged his name and saw this:

Its funny how things remain in your subconscious.

Hellboy by DasPastoras

I seldom post other people's work but this is worth sharing. I am a huge fan of a Spanish artist by the pseudonym DasPastoras. I can't believe my luck that I am the owner of this piece. It was done originally for Guillermo Del Toro but I don't know why or what happened that the sale did not transpire. I was in the right place at the right time and I cannot believe my luck.

I wanted to show my fellow artist the process he uses and here you can get a glimpse of it with the under painting. #hellboy #daspastoras #guillermodeltoro #mignola #watercolor
