HD Video Tour of Scotto Mycklebust Art Studio, October 1, 2009

This is a HD video tour of my art studio I shot today. I am working on a very large canvas which you see on the floor and I wanted to capture its early stage. The video is about 3.5 minutes long. The large painting on the wall is called "Red Chair Nude". I just finished it a day before. The canvas on the floor is call "Givenchy Ad Painting", it's inspiration comes from a small magazine perfume ad insert I found on the street walking to the studio. I painted over it with gouache.

Now Painting

This painting is called "NOW". I though black and white was appropriate palette for a painting painted in today's times.

Red Chair Nude Painting

Red Chair Nude painting is a composition base on the classic modernist idea of the seated nude. The painting is made up of several digital prints glued to the canvas. The letters act as compositional tools to add contrast and a counter point to the over all picture layout and composition.
