Painting in progress

Cool news! NEXT WEEK Sept. 21st stop by any Blick Art Materials for their one day MADNESS Event, and from 1-3pm do a guided sci-if neon cityscape painting demo featuring my artwork, using the Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Muted color line! I created the line art and step by step process for this demo, being held in all of the blick stores in the country for their fall back to school madness event. This was my final painting using the liquitex muted colors and you will be able to make your own by following along with my process or by making your own interpretation.
