Phil R Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 This is my fourth in a series of space paintings. This one feature a battle using my large build rocket using a Royal vacuum. He's being fired on but uses a defenses shield. It's called PURSUIT. If you ever wonder if most artists are messy when painting the answer is probably yes. This is my main adjustable painting table. I also have a larger drafting table to work on projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Very cool, Phil. Maybe it's the colors but I'm seeing a Disney-esque quality to this painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Brian, my niche is to convey the retro look as you said. I am finding that there could be endless possibilities. Andy, I wanted this one to be a fantasy background to tie together the circular effect of the rockets. That effect gives it a pastel look. My next painting will take more effort as I sort through the elements and placement of the preliminary. I'm tentatively naming it THE ROAD TO PERDITION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'll bet concocting the correct shield density took some time..When you have brightly colored craft in space,,,the intense UV is going to degrade it pretty quick..My question,,I wonder how you paint it and how does it dry ? Sublimation .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Mark, did you fall and go underwater while fishing? Seriously, It took a curved template and an airbrush. It took more time figuring the effect on the shield from an invisible painted laser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddalek Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Indeed, painting is it's own skill...I tried it once, I don't have the eye for mixing, applying colors. I commend you on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil R Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 GD, I hope I learned something through 50 years in the advertising art business, some years of painting and 20 of that 50 restoring antique advertising. Robert, thanks. Did you check my other 3 paintings in the art category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
