Oils

Ive been trying to get back into oils lately. These are a few projects im working on (i posted them before but got rid of my server space they were stored on). The colors from the photos arent quite the same as they are in real life. My main goal for these is to familiarize myself with the medium and develop my skills. So far it has been pretty fun and i find that its more soothing then painting digitally. Or maybe i inhailed too much turpenoid.

Photography update

Ive been focusing more on photography lately. Me and a few friends have been going to abandoned places trying to capture things that have been forgotten and places that people wont be able to see unless they try. Check out more on my flickr:

Photo comps

I decided to combine my in progress photo skills with my professional photoshop skills and create some sort of composition based on a set of photos. I want to use spicific photos that are related to each other so that there is an element of cohesion in the shapes in the comp.

Flour Mill Photo Sesh

Today me gabe and kyle had an adventure in an abandoned flour mill. The first picture shows the entrance to the building.

These are a few of my favorites. Check out the rest of the set at my flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/mrbartoletti/

First post

I started this blog to coincide with a recent urge to start working on personal 3D projects as well as getting back to the fundamentals of drawing and painting weather its digital or analogue. Professionally im a game artist at Wizards of the Coast but in my spare time, i enjoy drawing and painting in addition to creating 3D characters. I have also been dabbling in photography recently so i will post some of my favorite shots from time to time. I decided to make this blog because i have no idea how to update my web page that is now about 2 years old. www.nickbartoletti.com
