This painting was inspired by a visit to Yellowstone National Park. On this particular morning the mist was so thick I could barely see a 100 yards. In the mist I could hear the crackle of a ravens call, but could not see him. Then, just like a movie, the raven soared in and landed on a rock not 10 feet from me. He was obviously looking for a generous hand out from me and did not seem to fear me at all. I am not sure if it is good thing that the animals of park areas have become accustomed to man, it does make for some great experiences, but makes you wonder if we spend to much time infringing on their homes.

Part of the original Power To Paint DVD series converted to streaming video. Valley Of The Raven is an extensive art instruction tutorial that teaches the viewer how to use warm and cool colour with high contrast to create mood and depth. Learn how to build your shape and form by breaking down the image into its simple forms and preparing the areas for detailing. This tutorial also demonstrates the use of airbrush, paper masks and softening techniques. (This one is for all you airbrush junkies ;)
