Description: For all you Mad Men fans out there: here's a speed painting of Don and Peggy from last season. I've loved this show since the very beginning and find the dynamic between these two characters fascinating, and this was a pivotal scene. The video has been sped up 18(!) times, and as usual, I was painting as fast as I possibly could. Painting in full color is always so much more time-consuming than working with one color or black and white, so I was really pushing it to get a little less than 3 hours of video. So if the background looks rushed, well, it was! :) I am working with a limited palette here (mostly oranges and purples with a little blue here and there).
