If you’re a regular reader of this blog you’ll know we love photography, both traditional and digital. Over the next week or so we’re going to introduce you to something new; it’s called speed painting.

Speed Painting is an exercise, primarily digital, in which you paint on a time budget, using already developed methods to create a piece. Contrary to (somewhat) popular belief, “Speed Painting” is not the same as a time-lapse video of a painting. Speed Painting is a widely used term in the Entertainment industry, often amongst Concept Artists.

Its popularity on the internet was drastically increased with YouTube videos featuring fan-paintings by digital artists like Nico Di Mattia.

The first in our speed painting series is a piece by Nico Di Mattia.

Come back tomorrow and we’ll have another video and some more information about speed painting.
