Forian: I do, but you may have to catch me at a convention, when I’m doing a live demo. Perhaps one day I will have the opportunity to make a DVD …

Mr. Lockwood, I remember when I first saw your work back in the mid 90’s and I saw “Blinding Angel”. I fell in LOVE!

What a beautiful piece she was/is! At the time I was an illustrator/Artist (still am an artist) and could appreciate so much the work that goes into illustration work. It appears that she was done in oils and from what I have read about your work I am guessing the underpainting was done in acrylics, to a point? Did you use any drying mediums like liquin with your oils?

Just a beautiful piece! Great to see your blog. Thanks so much!

I saw the horrendous printing job, got the book for Christmas and like the whole lower left corner is totally black. Glad I get to see the whole picture as it was actually drawn/painted

now I wonder why the cover is damn dark. I bought the paperback cover and wondering why the cover is so dark. Are the recent recession let off with a cheaper printing production?

Yes: very much darker than I intended. “New printers,” they told me. Oy, and also vey.

Thank you very much for this great guide. I’m using Painter myself and was always wondering how you achieve this beautiful look like in oil-paintings.
Fantastic artwork again…of course. For me your art belongs to Drizzt as well as R.A. Salvatore.

Perhaps you have some more great tips for using painter this way?

Greetings
Florian
