Man From the South by Roald Dahl

Color Studies for The Man From the South, a dark short story by Roald Dahl. These were color studies worked up as examples during the Motivarti mentorship. The mentorship was a great time, and I hope to do it again some time. There are a few paintings missing from completely telling the story, I also took some liberties with a few parts of the story.

Motivarti Mentorship

I am participating in Motivarti's mentorship program starting next year, Jackie Huang contacted me last year to be a part of this great program that is trying to pair professionals who have been in the industry with individuals interested in study. There are a lot of great talented people participating like Kathy Altieri, Mike Yamada, Lorelay Bove, and tons more. I am hoping to mentor one artist next year and see how it goes.
