so maybe the process is somewhat repeatable.a very general description is as follows:use a large diffusing brush to create a background. Then use knife like brushes to bring selected detail. use edge melting brushes to soften. Use a wet on wet brush to swirl things around. Use Craig's droob brushes to put in some lines. A splatter bush to add some random spots. In between each paint use an imop to "raise" the paint.

Understood your explanation only the last sentence "In between each paint use an imop to "raise" the paint" is not clear for me. Is it possible to explain what you mean with imop?
Yes Danny sorry ImOp is short for Image Operation. Studio Artist (SA) has an amazing suite of image operations that can be applied to the image. These are something like filters in PS. One wonderful bonus in SA is the control one has over the percentage and the compositing method. I do use the gradient lighting a fair bit to add a dimensional feel to the paint. But for this series i am using a more subtle smart blur with a edge composite.

again this is all hand paint. I have not figured out how to do work like this in Auto.

imop is being used to refer to an image operation effect.
I often call them ip op for short when i post. In either case, it refers to the Studio Artist image operation mode.
He's probably using something like the Gradient Lighting ip op effect. Which can take an existing canvas and give it a raised lighted 3D surface look.
