In this video I wanted to demonstrate a way of painting you don't see online too often. Instead of drawing your subject out and then "filling it in" for lack of a better term, I am going to build the painting from dark to light.

Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.
