Wow, fantastic photo-realism, amazing work. It inspires me to paint some vegetables, nice and colorful, organic objects.

How do you get that kind of effect with acrylics? It almost seems like a real thing?

bongoshock In reply to Tireen [2005-03-02 14:38:05 +0000 UTC]

it takes ALOT of work. weeks and weeks. most of the work is knowing how to balance tones in color though. thanks for the comment!!

man - seeing the thumbnail I also thought it was a photo - what amazing talent you have!
Would you like to do an illustration for our magazine StatiQ - - maybe using one of the Tauranga
photos from my gallery?

bongoshock In reply to eRiQ [2004-12-14 20:59:13 +0000 UTC]

mayyyyybe. I don't know if i can paint it in acrylic just yet. I don't have a home studio at the moment, but i'm looking to build one. I AM able to do black and whites though.
Anything you had an mind?
I appreciate the offer!

(smiles) The red bell pepper kind of looks like it's walking away because of its' shape. Nicely done. How many paintings have you done before you did this? And how long did it take to do this? Even yourwork in painting is awesome.

bongoshock In reply to johndo [2004-12-06 00:48:20 +0000 UTC]

thank you! this was the fourth painting. It took me maybe 2 or 3 weeks. I'm not entirely sure.

bongoshock In reply to blackenedhonestyart [2004-11-29 23:33:13 +0000 UTC]

a few weeks i think, but i couldn't have done it without the previous year of training. Learning tones is soooo important

Jeebus! So good! I like the leek the best, it looks like you can just pull it right off the screen. Course, the peppers are really good too... I mean, you can even see the minute wrinkles on the red pepper from aging! Incredible Bongo. Just incredible.
