…to the first post of my first blog. It’s an exciting time for me as I get ready to unveil the new website (scottdeardorffportraits.com), which features a lot of new work that no one’s seen before, as well as some older work, which has been reworked (a little). It’s been a long time coming, but I’m really happy with the look of the site, and proud of the work it contains.
I did a lot of research into the different web design companies and template-site companies, and I ended up going with BluDomain – a decision that I’m pretty happy with, so far. Since the kind of work I do really needs to be seen big, I wanted a site capable of displaying large images, and Blu has a lot of those to choose from – and some great designs too.
In this first post I want to give you a bit of information about what I hope to use this blog for. Primarily, it will be a means for me to keep people informed about Scott Deardorff Portraits. I’ll be sharing new work, and hopefully providing a little insight into the processes that went into their creation. Any news about SDP – specials, new offerings and the like will be posted here as well.
You may already know about my Photoshop video training series, “Mastering the Digital Canvas™,” which is in the works. Those of you who have taken my class know that this is something I’ve been planning to do for a (long) while. You may also know that I tend to be a perfectionist, so it’s not unusual for me to want to get everything perfect. As I have new information about this project, I’ll share it with you here.
From time to time (as new ideas surface and time allows), I plan to post tutorials on Photoshop technique – digital painting technique, retouching technique and other PS quick tips. I’m open to suggestions on things you might want to see here. I want this blog to be useful, informative and interesting.
Please do leave me comments, questions and feedback on anything regarding my site, this blog, or anything else. I want to hear from you.

Scott, a friend forwarded the link to your site, and when I visited I was in awe! Wow what beautiful work, I've seen many who have used painter, but your work is more like what, if I was able, would like to produce. Like to hear more about your upcoming DVD.

What really comes forth to me is your willingness to share your knowledge.
Very lovely site and beautiful music Scott. I'm very much looking forward to your DVD series. Your work is incredible. Thanks for saying you will post some tips on the blog. You wanted to know what we would like...anything to do with the new photoshop brushes would great. Thanks so much for teaching your incredible style of painting.
