About The Author. I’m Matt Kohr, and drawing is my passion. It’s also my job. For art school I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design, and majored in Comic Books. Though I never intended to create comic books professionally, it was a great opportunity to practice drawing imaginary things. DIGITAL PAINTING 101 (1 OF 5) INTRO 1) Draw a red triangle in the upper left hand portion of your canvas. 2) Change your color to blue, and draw a rectangle in the lower right quadrant. 3) Change your color to green and draw a squiggle connecting the two shapes. 4) Hide the interface with the TAB key, and zoom into your canvas with Ctrl+ + so only the red triangle is visible. LET'S PAINT A SPATULA The 'Let's Paint' videos give me an opportunity to show the techniques working together, and creating images start to finish. So in a sense, these videos work like a table of contents -- but visual. To see more, visit the Let's Paint page here. Newer: Lets Paint BRUSH SERIES: BLOCK-IN Brush Series: Block-In.

A term for this quality is ‘stroke economy’. It’s when an artist evokes a rich, detailed, image in the mind of the viewer through implied detail. Where photographs shine is in their specificity, though paintings offer a different opportunity: simplification. John Singer Sargent (seen above) is a true master of stroke economy.
