Bojee's Monkey Brain (More paint less talk) Aug. 17th

[tensai]

i don't want to break the radio silence, but just came across this painter daniel cacoualt and thought it might be interesting for you to check him out when you get back. you know him? i love his pallete knive work.

[AztcFireFlower]

Nice series of self-portraits. Your watercolors have alot of enjoyment coming through. Just now trying gouache. Hope they look as cool as some of yours.

[Bojee]

tensai- Hey Lok, haven't forgot about you, been a busy summer. Thanks for the link.

AztcFireFlower- Thank you, I'm sure you'll blow me out of the water.

A couple quick ones, they still feel wip but there you go. The first is an update, the second is new. Try to get denser on these in certain areas.
anyone know how I ended up with 50 pages??

[Unedibleapple]

I really like the second to last painting. It has a nice atmosphere, the band of colours in the middle works really well to add interest and the characters look really natural and are quite intriguing.

[Andy P]

Hey, good to see you're back in action! These new guaches look great, love the second one. I like how general you've left stuff like the people in the middle. Very cool. Good work on both.
And the 50 pages comes from them having just switched the total number of replies on each page from 60 to 30, effectively doubling everyone's page count.

[Molly]

Its been a while since I've visited, and its always a pleasure jumping into your thread. Damn, I'd love to come out and paint with you....

Flesheater- Thank you

Been hiking a lot this summer, collecting all kinds of stuff from the trail, and I just started painting some of it. This one's the best of the bunch.

[tensai]

wow - that must have been some hike man. welcome back - great to see some bojeelicious paints again.

[Bojee]

tensai- Lol, yes quite a hike. Good to see you here.

One more

[Bojee]

Another... "Seed pod and Cheerio" It was actually a washer, but it got way too round.

[Bojee]

Another bug

[Bojee]

Another goauche cityscape

[maxetormer]

I'm REALLY likening the bug washes, I can see you havent slowed down a bit
seeing that gives me strength to keep on hammering, keep this pace bro!

[mrgrumble]

ahoy alan!
those last few washes are really captivating, quite well handled!
interesting cityscape as well, i like the brushstrokes you use in the darker areas on the road and legs

salukes
timmy

[tensai]

love that new gouache cityscape. very nice colours and i keep on marvelling at those tiny spots in the background. they work really well.

do you do these on site or is it mostly from ref?

[Ashrumm]

I am really digging the bugs man!!

[Bojee]

maxetormer- Hey buddy, thank you, I think they're the most successful too. Huge leaps going on in your book!

mrgrumble- Timmy, thanks bro, good to see you here!

tensai- Lok, glad you like it, I liked the background the best too. These are from ref I took of Seattle.

ashrumm- Thank you, me too.

Another ink, a leaf this time.

[ped454]

Unfortunately I only got to look at a few of your earlier pages and a few of your later and very few of the in between.

My comment is just going to be that you have a very beautiful simplistic style that really brings out whatever it is that you are portraying. Your gestures are stylistic and have great perspective. I don't know if you use watercolour but it sure looks nice. Anyways, I like your work and I'll be back . see ya round

[Bojee]

ped454- Thanks

Ink of my bathroom from ref

[Darktwin]

Damn Bojee, hot damn!!, I really have been missing some good stuff. the bugs beautiful!!, the color pieces are looking great!! Delicious work Bojee, man, good to see this sb again. Keep us fed!

[Bojee]

Darktwin- Thanks for looking bro!

New Goauche

[tensai]

oh man - last one is great! love the yellow and blueish green and the composition is with the head cut off like that makes it feel really close/intimate. great series.

[Andy P]

Sweet dude, those little B&W's on the last page are really boss, great little studies. This one of the bathroom is spot on. The cityscape guaches are really nice too, love the compositions. I like that they're very finished looking, but I'd also like to see a bit more of the looseness you bring to your oil landscapes.
Good to see that you're chuggin along again!

[Bojee]

tensai- Thanks Lok!

Andy P- Andy thanks! I'm going tighter on purpose (exploring the range I can take these), but I'll try to loose some edges for you.
