Artist's Comments

My christmas card digital painting for 2008. I was trying to capture the Norman Rockwell feel.

I've done a good many master copies of his works in various painting classes, but sadly there will only ever be one Norman Rockwell.

Happy Holidays!

Wow, the texturing looks incredible! How did you do that digitally?

And it definitely has a Rockwell feel to it- excellent work. :)

Wow! I am a fan of Norman Rockwell, sad that he's no longer living and producing such wonderful paintings, but I see that you have captured his style with quality and grace, especially in mood! Great work and I saw this on the feature :iconweekly-deviant: too! *faved*

Thanks so much!

Layers and layers. I've studied Rockwell quite a bit, so I know his process. I basically tried to emulate that digitally. So, it was drawn in painter with warm hue pencils and charcoal, then the paint is digitally layered upon that. The darks are usually pretty thin and I used canvas textures to emphasize that, and impasto textures for the highlights. Then lots of color correction layers in photoshop to give the appearance of the printing process of the Saturday Evening post that faded his paintings a bit. Hope that all makes sense.

That does make sense, and it really makes me wish I had painter. It really does look like a traditional work. Thanks for the explanation! :)
