What is you Niggers opinion on James Gurney's Gouache work?
>>
Love that Boomer cracker tbqh famalam
>>
>>7770754
I like it, but I wish he'd go somewhere new
>>
>>7770754
I love him and his blog, bless James Gurney. I learned so much from him. He's one of the few artists who runs this kind of thing who isn't a grifter, though I haven't followed the blog in years.
Color and Light is a great book, too.

>>7770808
ic hates him because they cant become successful businessmen with their art alone while he cant draw a kangaroo from memory or use basic construction to draw a minion kek
>>
>>7770813
>he cant draw a kangaroo from memory
it was meant to be a dog and he owns 2

His painting skills are incredible, but he insists on painting the most miserable looking places imaginable

Saw him painting in my neighborhood once a few years ago, sorry for the shitty content
>>
>>7770784
Yeah, while I may not be a fan of his recent work, he's great at painting and he looks like he genuinely enjoy what he's doing. Same thing with his videos I'm not a fan of a lot things he does or his subject matters as a whole because he's a bit bland for my taste,but there's something about his authenticity.

he literally created a fantasy civilization with dinosaurs in it
>>
>>7771156
he's just painting america
he can only do so much to make it look nice
>>
>>7771291
Yeah and that looks great, but a random overcast concrete intersection does not
>>
>>7771156
It's called going outside and making a painting on location in 1 hour.
>>
>>7771156
Where the fuck else is he supposed to go dipshit
>>
>>7770754
It's pretty mediocre. Gurney is one of those hustlers that exist on relentless shilling. Could probably learn how to do business from him, but his actual output is very uninspired and technically stagnant for the entirety of his career.

There's absolutely zero reason to spend even a second thinking about him
>>
His books are high quality and seem well researched but still end up being more of a photo gallery than anything educational. If you're reading a book to improve at art he would not be the first second or third choice.
>>
>>7771746
What's your first second and third choices then.
>>
>>7771426
japan so he can paint irl animes
>>
>>7771746
Better to use them like a reference than a front to back instruction book. Go to a specific topic you need help with on your current project e.g. if you're doing a night scene read the relevant page(s) in Color and Light.

They work fine for me, you might just be stupid.
