Listen 5 Sketch - In


Working out the canvas sketch-in for Listen 5. One of the things I am happiest about (and scared of) with the Listen series is the opportunity to paint people of different backgrounds, ethnicities and ages that I may not get to locally or through commissions. It's a wonderful chance to grow as an artist and a bit intimidating. The support has been tremendous since I started the series again - thanks so much. The best way to support it is to purchase a print or related merchandise - every bit helps in keeping the series going - keep trudging.

Country Western - Cow Girl Traditional Pinup Girl Commission


Cow Girl
20"x30", mixed media on illustration board.
Here is a recently finished #pinup commission. I took a different approach with this one and tried the Drew Struzan method - heavy underdrawing, base airbrushing, heavy pencil crayon rendering and retouching with acrylic and the air brush. For the first time trying it I'm really happy with the results - it's a nice balance between my drawing and painting both in time and budget.
I get a lot of commission work for pinups which I always find interesting (I don't do much of it in my spare time or pursue it heavily) but it's always fun and challenging finding the right balance in it. The original is available and the client is allowing my to do a limited number of prints, drop me a line if interested.
The link to purchase the original is below

Listen 2 Merchandise


Here is some of the merchandise available for Listen 2. I've always been a bit wary and careful with where I allow my work to be printed and what on. I'm really happy with the quality and presentation these vendors offer. They include iPad & iPhone / Samsung Galaxy cases & skins for various models, laptop skins, personalized cards available in packs of 10, spiral notebooks and hardcover journals. The quality is outstanding and the prices are more than reasonable compared to some custom order merchandise. To order any of the products or to get a full list of what is available email me here or at info@brentschreiber.com.

Listen 4




Listen 4
20"x16", acrylic on canvas
20"x16", acrylic on canvas
Finally finished and couldn't be happier. It was an interesting journey on this painting. It was revisiting the first Listen painting and seeing how far I've come the last 4 years and what still needs work. I was focused on the skin quality and capturing the translucent nature of it.
The first run of prints goes in on Tuesday (Sept. 8th). You can get them at 17"x11" - $33 and 20"x16" - $115 (large prints can be framed upon request), drop me a line here or at info@brentschreiber.com with any inquiries. You can also purchase directly at http://www.brentschreiber.com/pages/shop.html. On to the next one. :)
