New Painting: 3324 North California
Well, I finally finished with this painting. It took a while, considering I worked on it off and on in between other paintings that I had to do. While painting, I spent the majority of my time squinting my eyes, my objective was to capture the light and "character" of the "diner".
Detail. I enjoy seeing brushwork, especially when rendering realistically. Had fun with my palette as well, as you can see, I used lots of greens . . . I thing green and dirty yellows are some of my favorite colors to paint into flesh tones?
Some quick thumbnail sketches that I did while coming up with my idea and composition.
My next class on Caricature at www.schoolism.com starts on April 16th. Seats are filling up! Any questions you may have can be emailed to me or the staff at Schoolism. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant !
awesome!! love the colors.. love the light. My favourite part is the texture on the stools. I really enjoyed watching this come together from the prelim sketch.
You've got a great career as an illustrator Jason, but one of these days you need to go james jean style, drop your magazine covers and have some sold out gallery shows of oil paintings! show people what you can do when you have complete freedom!
exciting to see this.
This one of the most impressive paintings I've ever seen.
I have no words, this is insane.
Congratulations, I hope I'll be as good as you are one day!
PARDON the lango, but this is FRIGGGAN BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really a fantastic piece bro. COngrats!!!!!!!~T
Wow this is stunning! Outstanding attention to detail. Even down to the guy in the background with the hat is brilliant.
You keep raising the bar, Jason. This is really a wonderful piece.
Really Awesome man!!!!! The lighting is amazing, and it really helps to make this piece look so good!!!! As soon as I saw this painting, I immediately went and signed up for your April course!!! It gave me the kick in the ass that I needed!!! I can't wait!!!!
completely insane! completely!
WOW Jason! this is amazing! Love the soft lighting, its amazing how you rendered this painting. WOW bravo Jason!
Verry impressive!
Do you pick your colours from a photograph? 'Caus they are just perfect, and so is the light.
Bravo!
Very beautiful and a little sad. I'm wondering what the background guy's hand gesture indicates. Another bar raised, man.
Suuper beautiful. The best part is the white hair top of the old man's head. Oh and the nose, and the loosy lines on the hand, and ... damn this is a masterpiese.
Tiene algo de la magia de las ilustraciones clásicas americanas, bravo.
Superb!!!!!!
That's beautiful Jason, really beautiful!
I love it.It reminds me of soooo many diners on my travels. hahaha
AWESOME as usual Jason.
Outstanding work!
Wonderful job my friend!
Nice composition
Love those 2 little stylus in the pocket! ;)
I was telling Otto on the train that what sets you apart from a lot of other illustrators working digitally is your attention to detail. The hairs that are dark in front of the light part of the window next to the white hairs in front of the dark window frame really makes the illustration come to life for me. Amazing work!
Masterpiece.
Great, great piece Jason.
This is my favourite of yours Jason! Amazing!
Jason - scene captured! Mood delivered ala carte with a flurry of brilliant color and brushwork. Love the two vacant seats in the foreground... actors or characters in their own right -- red and blue.
Love this one !!! Magnificent capture of an american everyday scene. Reminds me a bit to Hopper.
That place has the most amazing hot dogs!!! Beautiful piece Jason, makes me homesick!
astonishing!!!! You did a masterpiece
fantastic jason !!
I love the atmosphere that emanates from your illustration
you are one of my favorite illustrator !!
my admiration !!
it's great in every way, but i'm really impressed with the apparent thought put into the composition that ended up really working nicely. it's tied so well together i end up really looking at every part of the painting.
inspiring stuff, as usual
This is just completely bonkers man! Just completely beautiful!
Jinkies! That light is delicious. Great work!
Its absolutely stunning Jason! really great work I love the colors on this one and the details are masterfully executed.
Jason, this is impossibly ridiculous.........what I'm trying to say is, it's amazing!
I think between that and the tiger woods are the best ones you ever did!
AWESOME!!!!
ATMOSPHERE BEAUTIFUL. IT´S A GREAT GIFT FOR THE EYES AND FOR THE SOUL. CONGRATS JASON, CONGRATS MASTER.
great job! wonderful!
Jason, I've been a working illustrator for 40+ years, but until I saw the way you render human skin, I never felt like a hack. Truly an impressive piece. Maybe if I keep painting another 40 years...
How do you do this man? You're kinda like the David Blaine of art now. Thanks for sharing and I'll keep looking.
Wow Nice Work.
Beautiful finish of your big art work! ;)
WOW Jason, you're so good! I LOVE this.
oh my GOD!!!!! what?. OH MY GOD!!!!
Congrats & BEAUTIFUL piece, Jason!
What is the guy in bg doing? looks like there should be something in his hand, ...a cup?
That diner should let you eat there every day for FREE forever...only problem is you'd probably end up looking like your subject if you do that!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this piece! man in the dark sweater is drinking "never coffee!!!""
