Brushwork Boulevard is a combination of analogue freehand painting and digital editing and compositing.
The analogue painting is created with watercolour and is time lapsed - something seen often before though the difference is that there is no brush.
It is easy to achieve this when painting and recording your strokes on a digital platform but the fact that the painting is analogue and done on paper makes it unique.
The process is achieved by photographing the painting at different stages of completion but also to make it smooth there are frames where the brush has been digitally retouched from the image.
Subsequently different parts of the sequence have been separated, retimed and re-composited back into the animation to achieve a smooth flow to the piece.
The result is an original artwork that is animated from start to completion with the focus on the painting rather than on the brush and the method of the artist.
original analogue painting is an add-on for the first collector. (34x51cm unframed)
