Artwork in Progress and the Process of Painting Pop Art

Palm Treat has an excellent visual art making process which includes viewing Andy Warhol references, Art Forum Magazine, Art in America Magazine, Mad Magazine, Hi Fructose Magazine, Art Blend Magazine, and other successful Magazines that showcase solo art shows and well known illustrators and designers.

 Then the process moves to a brainstorming session where the two artists Marie Nolan and Jeff Nolan meet up and discuss pop art techniques and designs. The meeting is full of thumbnail sketches, napkin drawings, Simpson's references, vintage comic book layouts, historical influences and visually stimulating color schemes and shapes. The design process begins with a digital mock up and is followed by hours, sometimes days of editing to achieve compositional correctness.

Next, Jeff Nolan and Marie Nolan hand draw the image onto hand stretched canvas and begin to manipulate the digital mock up with effervescent bursts of organic lines and shapes. Nothing is set in stone, so there is room to edit and redraw areas and even change colors along the way. It's a fun process that both artists enjoy.

Finally, Jeff Nolan and Marie Nolan post photos of the paintings on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, and Blogger. This ensures that Palm Treat fans and Simpsons fans can locate their online store.
