My favorite part of this diptych is the music page I cut out for the boy's body. I do like his orange hair as well, but if I made it again I think I'd nix the orange water in favor of a more subdued color. What do you think? .

My latest colored pencil drawing. Based on my passion - an estate sale photo! I attempted to abstract the background by making everything gradients of the same color, imparting a Cubist feel. . . . #scottsamuels #scottsamuelsart #coloredpencil #coloredpencilart #coloredpencildrawing #artistsofinstagram #njartist #contemporaryart #artaddict #artfinder #artistsoninstagram #artistlife #ihavethisthingwithcolor #creativeprocess #emergingartist #recordplayer (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4stlPOnK0G/?igshid=9dt2b1ji6unf

"Global Triptych" was a commission for my cousin @janiesams. I built three 1.5"-deep cradled hardboards and began to collage and paint based on her theme: the forest, the city, and the country. I used faded construction paper so the sky above the farm wasn't so saturated. And vintage graph paper for the clouds. .

Another larger Sigma pic. For the background I selected graphics and diagrams from several math and engineering textbooks.

Titled "Primary Ground" because the underpainting is swaths of red, yellow, and blue. This was originally going to be a totally different composition, but then I chopped it up with a Sharpie and painted in the shapes with acrylics. After painting a bar of color, I would scrub out the edges with a brush dipped in water, hence all the drips. .

In my travels through estate sales and flea markets I collect old paper for collage. This background is made from a mid-century math textbook from NYC. I love the elegant beauty of math equations and symbols. .

A painting I made for my dear friend Rahul. I worked with him to design the Om Guitar logo and included Ganesha and Brahma according to his wishes. The "ALOR" on the headstock stands for "A Life of Riley," our band's name before we changed it to Keeping Riley. Rahul (aka Fubi) now has the guitar design tattooed on his back :-) .

Carved out some time last night and this morning to work on my current picture. I'm making a time lapse animation of the painting developing by taking a photo every 60 seconds as I paint. But it was becoming a pain to stop and press the shutter button, not to mention gumming it up with oil paint. So I bought an automatic timer off Amazon. . . . #scottsamuels #scottsamuelsart #oiloncanvas #oilpaintingoncanvas #artistsofinstagram #njartist #njpainter #contemporaryart #artaddict #artfinder #paintingprocess #artistsoninstagram #artistlife #ihavethisthingwithcolor #creativeprocess #emergingartist #textbasedart #designbasedart #impasto #impastopainting #thickpaint (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3asZbUHscI/?igshid=wja5lvhcink1

The latest on my Polychromos painting. Added the dark areas and bright red blooms on the trees. The red areas are super chunky, and now I'm wondering if the dark sections should be more impasto so the red doesn't sit on top so much. . I am learning to let more of the blue ground show through. I'm so used to meticulously filling all the pigeon holes that I forget the point of a colored ground is to see it throughout the picture! . #scottsamuels #scottsamuelsart #oiloncanvas #oilpaintingoncanvas #artistsofinstagram #njartist #njpainter #textbasedart #designbasedart #vintagedesigns #polychromos #impasto #impastopainting (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NLyEln1Fe/?igshid=1ghuuyo9lbgl1

Always been a huge fan of Eagle's circle logo and the crispness of their art deco-inspired graphics. The typeface is retro and super clean, and the two different colored dots above the "i"s are a nice touch. #vintageartsupplies #artsupplies #vintagepackaging #vintageproducts #vintagedesign #graphicdesign #productpackaging #typography #vintagetypography #vintagetype #vintageeaglepencils #eaglepencils #eaglepencilcompany #coloredpencils #vintagepencils #vintagecoloredpencils #pencilbox #vintagepencilbox #verithin (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrWr6ZBMNP/?igshid=1s3t6jemqgurc
