Aug 20 Painting
I didn’t get much done today. Everything I tried was a dead end. To give myself a small sense of accomplishment I made this image for mileage. The best part is watching the colors and textures overlap and interact.
It has been awhile
It has been awhile since I have created an image for my blog. I was working in my office yesterday and saw an old copper plate that I used for a dry point etching. I scanned the back of it in to use as a texture for painting in Photoshop. Then I began to wonder.… Continue reading It has been awhile

Floating Pear by Scott E Franson | size: 5×7 | media: digital I have begun the last few paintings with an overall pattern (see and Crayzan). Then I paint on top selecting the colors with the eye dropper tool. I am experimenting with this process as a way to create color harmony.

Digital Painting | Bicycle
As a child, my bicycle was the ultimate feeling of freedom. It was pre-helmet days and I loved the wind in my hair while riding down the sidewalk feeling the bump of each new section. Bump-bump, Bump-bump, Bump-bump. Because it was a bicycle everything, including sounds comes in two. This image was created for illustrationfriday.com.

Neapolitan Sunday by Scott E Franson | size: 5×7 | media: digital The soft diffused light of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. The image was created using four different textures. One made from single sided corrugated cardboard, two traditionally gessoed panels, and a repeating pattern. I enjoy the way the different textures overlay one another allowing… Continue reading Digital Painting 041811 | Neapolitan Sunday

Painting No.012811
Coming up with an idea is always a challenge and this was no exception. I knew that I wanted to use the technique of painting a series of acrylic paintings in black, scanning them with backlight, and then coloring them in Photoshop, but I couldn’t make up my mind what to paint.

Attic Bottles
There is always a box of glass bottles left as an inheritance for posterity. They are kind of cool and seem to have some value and so the very dusty bottles are passed on from one attic to the next…and the next… This image is made with three photoshop layers. Each layer was drawn in… Continue reading Attic Bottles
Calico cammmel
This painting was done as an experiment in a workshop that I went to last week. As everyone should know three humps are for crossing longer deserts. This camel should be spelled cammmel. The workshop was with Kevin Hawkes at the Writing and Illustration for Young Readers Conference in Sandy, Utah. As always it was… Continue reading Calico cammmel
Oasis
I like to watch pixels change color on the screen. It is much better than TV and it is very relaxing. Oasis is an experiment simulating pastels. The process uses a brush with an applied texture. The scale of the texture is changed frequently so that the colors underneath show through. I used the polygon… Continue reading Oasis
New Process
I am trying a new process that uses ink washes. Next semester I will be teaching the digital illustration class and I am working on some new possibilities.

Digital Painting Experiment: Oil
I am not a painter, but here is my attempt at oil paint in Photoshop (with some tips from Dan)
CMY Build-up
This experiment involves four layers: a white background layer, cyan, magenta, and yellow. The three color layers are set to multiply (mode). It was interesting trying to construct an image by creating each color separately.
Reduction Print in Photoshop
I am experimenting to see if I can reproduce some of the techniques of printmaking in Photoshop. This is my attempt at a reduction print.
Painting experiment
I am always experimenting with new digital processes. For this process I scanned in a gesso texture and applied the texture to Adobe Photoshop brushes. I have included the complete composition and a close up.
