This clip is just a teaser of Jeremy Lipking’s instructional DVD, but I enjoyed finding out a little about the way Jeremy approaches his paintings. As one can see, he has a very deliberate and careful approach. He focuses on the illusion of the earring by simplifying the shapes and colors; only hinting at the delicate form as it recedes. He seems to have an intrinsic ability to paint as the human eye perceives. Where one artist might flatten the image into obvious 2D forms, Jeremy looks as if he is rendering forms in space.
