This past week a few friends and I went on a painting trip to the Teton area. We started on the Idaho side, spent time in the Grand Targhee, and then over to the Teton Ntl Park side. These are the five best pieces I did, and there are others which will never see the light of day again, thankfully. Even those, however, were so instrumental in helping me grow. While I like a lot of things about these five pieces, and feel they're a result of me trying new and uncomfortable things artistically, there are things about them that definitely need to be changed as I develop them into larger pieces. Can't wait! Special thanks to the folks at the Pine Creek Ranch and Camp Loll for their amazing hospitality. We literally couldn't have done the trip without them.David Dibblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17767402381053863637noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204947335372267395.post-82063240579332145692015-07-06T17:02:00.000-07:002015-07-20T22:32:06.687-07:00Midway Plein Air event<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are five pieces from the Midway plein air painting festival/competition in late June/early July. Midway is such a beautiful spot, it was really fun to be up there painting for a few days (albeit in the heat wave). All of these are 8"x10", and there's obviously a barn theme:) The bottom piece of the hay bales won an award and sold, but the others are all available.

I painted up at the farm last week and did this piece of the old milk shed that dad rebuilt a few years ago. It now houses tools instead of milk, but he did a great job with it. The pale yellow was a nice choice and plays well against the red barn it faces. I really enjoyed trying to capture the warm and cool shadow interplay.

Here are two plein air pieces from the last few weeks. One from up Hobble Creek Canyon, and the other from the Ogden Plein Air event yesterday.

Here are the progression photos from my painting this morning in Midway. Hopefully it helps to see a little better the process of creating a painting (my process, anyway). Enjoy!<br />

For my Friday morning painting I drove up Hobble Creek last week to where the road ends and then up the dirt road for a few miles. There was a great outcropping of rocks that I was excited to paint. It was raining, as it has been for weeks, but I was still able to set up and paint without too much trouble. <br />
<br />
I have included a photo of the rock I was looking at as well as a photo of what the painting looked like when I left the canyon. The final reflects changes I made to it in the studio when I returned to try and bring more clarity to it.David Dibblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17767402381053863637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204947335372267395.post-35743269437407122732015-04-22T09:55:00.002-07:002015-04-22T09:55:50.376-07:00Plein Air in Monterey<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This past week I attended the National Plein Air Convention in Monterey, CA. It was fantastic, and in addition to amazing presentations by the likes of George Carlson, Len Chmiel, and T.Allen Lawson, I was able to paint some amazing locations. I haven't really painted the ocean much, so it was fun to get some experience with that. I can see why ocean painters have some intense blue-greens (prussian, phthalo blue, etc), it's nearly impossible to capture those colors with a normal palette.<br />

Here was the figure drawing from last night's session at Casey Child's studio (thank you to Lauren for modeling!). I used vine charcoal for the entire thing, which I usually don't do. It's finicky, but fun. Anyway, I feel like portraits are one of my weakest skills, so it's good to do more of it. Not always comfortable, but good.<br />

Nearly 8 years ago I did this painting of the San Rafael Swell, and it has languished unsold in galleries ever since, and I'm tired of looking at all of the mistakes. It was the best I could do at the time, but there's an upcoming art show that I want to enter, and rather than buy a new frame, I thought "I've got this huge framed elephant of a piece, I should just paint over it!" So I went back to the original photo ref and tried to reinterpret it with a little more experience as a guide. The bottom piece is a loose color-key painted this morning in Photoshop, and I tried to really focus on the different types of light (i.e. direct light, fill light, bounce light, etc), light direction, and local color. I'll use the key as reference as I move forward to paint over the old painting. Fortunately the original was painted when I was very timid about thick paint, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem going over it, and the super-warm tone of the original will be very vibrant as an underpainting. The show drop-off is late March, so I'll need to be speedy, which is good and will force me to look at the big picture and not get caught up in details, which is always death to a painting. I'll post the re-painted piece in a few weeks!<br />

It has been far too long since I've posted anything! Oh well, let's be honest, the art world hasn't been waiting with baited breath for my every post, so I think we're ok. Here are two recent plein air pieces. The stream piece was done this morning, and it was great to get out. Both of these were done up Vivian Park canyon near Provo, UT.

So life is officially moving forward in Utah. I have begun teaching Illustration and Concept Design at Brigham Young University, and it has been a grand adventure. Here are two recent plein air pieces done around the Provo area. More to come!<br />

So, Rio 2 has been out for a few months now, so I'm excited to post some of my work from the film. There are a few of the pieces posted here, and the rest are on my website: <a href="http://www.dibbleart.com/photos-3/photos-10/index.html">www.dibbleart.com</a>. As you'll notice, I did mostly flat illustrative design and graphics for the film, which was fun. The end credits especially turned out well, I think, and though the schedule was super-crazy, it was fun to ram something through the pipeline so quickly. All of the directors and producers were in LA and Skywalker Ranch doing color-timing and last-minute things for the film, so it was cool to have more creative control than maybe we would have had normally. Tom Humber (set design) and Sheng Fang (previs) were amazing to work with, it was one of the best creative team experiences I've ever had.David Dibblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17767402381053863637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204947335372267395.post-40189345999647252962014-02-15T13:12:00.001-08:002014-02-15T13:17:19.409-08:00New Painting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finally finished this painting after months of intermittent work. It is 22"x 28", and was both rewarding and maddening. I'm including the smaller plein-air sketch (8"x 10") as well which was painted on the property just below Blue Sky Studios in Connecticut.

We finally got approval to post our work from Epic on our sites, so take a look-see when you have a spare moment at<a href="http://www.dibbleart.com/photos-3/photos-9/index.html" target="_blank"> dibbleart.com</a>. The keys that I did for the podling selection sequence are some of the best that I've done at Blue Sky, I think. Because there were so many keys for the sequence, I used a more abbreviated style than I usually do, and just painted with the simple circle brush in Photoshop. It was more like painting with a marker than a paintbrush. But it also forced me to really make a clear statement regarding light, silhouette, and temperature.

At the Blue Sky figure drawing session for the last few weeks in October we did a sustained pose. A friend in the design dept, Vincent Nyguen, painted did a demo with me, and it was fun to see our different styles and approaches in everything from the lay-in/drawing to the paint application. He's terrific, and it was fun to have him participate. This painting represents a two week effort (total of 4 hours), and is 12"x 16". I spent the entire first session just doing the underpainting/drawing, which I did with a brown madder color. The color was done the second session, and it was great painting over a solid lay-in. This isn't the best photo of the painting, but hopefully it gives an idea. <br />

I don't usually post photo reference of plein air pieces, but I thought this was a fun juxtaposition. Along with some of the other fellows in the Design Dept. at Blue Sky, I participated in a fundraising plein air paint-out this past weekend for the Rye Arts Center, and it was a lot of fun. We were able to paint at the American Yacht Club, which is where this piece was done, and I haven't done much marine painting before, so it was a great challenge. The light was in and out, but I just couldn't pass up this awesome blue boat. I would say that the photo ref is darker than the actual scene, and the photo of the painting is probably skewing a little light. But it sold Saturday night at the auction, so it's only a guess. <br />

Here are some new lunchtime plein air paintings not previously posted. A few are (obviously) from this past Winter, but I thought they merited a showing. Similar subjects and compositions are starting to show up since with such a short window to paint (these are 1-2 hours during lunch), I can't wander very far. And I don't particularly care for the piece at the bottom of the vines growing over the rock wall, but I just stuck it in there to show that you don't (can't) always hit a home run, but the failures are important too! The second-to-last piece of the light streaking through the forest has a nice feel to it, I think I'll do a larger studio piece of it in the next month or two.

Here are two new paintings that I recently finished for a client in Massachusetts. They are both 18x24, and represent scenes in the Richmond, MA area. Enjoy!<br />

Here are a few recent drawings from the weekly figure drawing sessions at Blue Sky. Most are done with Conte Crayon on Canson Sketch paper and range from 2 minute to 40 minute poses. I'm really focusing on trying to consciously identify weaknesses in my approach and natural tendencies and work on them. I find that in drawing, as in anything else, it is easy to simply go through the motions and perpetuate the same bad habits every week and not really improve. Proportion and solidity and two things I'm focusing on now. And that's the thing about drawing the figure, it will constantly humble you and you can never just 'dial it in' and expect a legitimate result. It demands respect and effort.David Dibblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17767402381053863637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204947335372267395.post-1625138677803004002012-10-16T18:22:00.004-07:002012-10-16T18:22:48.366-07:00Barn Painting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I went to Lenox, Massachusetts on Saturday to paint at Undermountain Farm, a horse ranch that has some amazing old barns. By the time I got set up the light was quickly fading and the clouds had set in. So I had just a little over an hour to complete this. There are a lot of things that I like about it, and I would love to do a larger piece of it. It is 9"x 12".

Here are several other pieces that I haven't posted. The top piece was one of three pieces that I did at Sagamore Hill National Monument for the plein air competition. The other two are in the previous post, but this is the one I submitted (we could paint as much as we liked, but could only submit one). I posted a lower-res version of it the weekend of the competition, but this is a more accurate photo. There are a lot of things I like about it, but looking at it now, it needs more variety in the branches; they're all about the same thickness and width apart. The tree may have been similar to that, but no one knows that now, you just look at it and see the repetitive composition. Good reminder.<br />
<br />
The second down was a piece I did while camping with some friends. It's ok, a bit lifeless, really. I worked on it some more when I got home from memory, and this was the result. The last two pieces are actually the same fallen tree (there's a third painting of the same branch down below), but on drastically different days. The sunlit piece has some nice elements, but looks a little too 'composed'. I felt like it looked a little too much like an old Disney background painting without the good parts:) The last piece was really a break-through piece for me. On the whole, I have spent few years coming to the realization that my mid-tones are generally too heavy and dark. This painting was an attempt to consciously paint the mid-tones lighter than I saw them. I was pleased with the result, and subsequent paintings have seen my mid-tones becoming ever-more even-handed. Compositionally, the ultra-straight diagonal branch should have never been painted that way. Even if I thought I saw it like that, I should have had the maturity to give it some life and interest. As it is it's just distracting. Oh well, these are for learning.<br />
