Embutidos Ibéricos

Posted on March 25, 2013 by David Navas

I love “Embutidos Ibéricos” - Spanish sausages - although I don’t eat them anymore.
One of my childhood strongest memories is watching the slaughter of a pig and the making of hundreds of different sausages using all the parts of the animal.

Daikon Kimchi and Miso marinated garlic

Posted on February 5, 2013 by David Navas

A painting I made this weekend with Procreate on the iPad. I was trying so see how far I could get depicting a realistic still life. At some point I really needed more precise tools for detailing, like straight lines, lasso tools and quick masks. I guess I could have finish it with more details in Photoshop but I decided to leave it here. Procreate is a wonderful tool for plein air painting.

iPad live model sketches

Yesterday I went to the Los Feliz Drawing workshop and I sketched and painted with Procreate on my iPad. I really like the Procreate ink bleed brushes, they feel very natural and responsive. The 25-minute pose gave me some more time to paint in color.
