Tried application of some of the themes from the previous set of landscape studies.  Started out as a doodle. Easter must have been on my mind.

 Embarked on a series of landscape studies.  The main aim of these was to practice getting down as much information with the biggest brushes possible.  The photo source is here.

Summer dance-Speedpaint

Did a speedpaint from the DA group.  Did it over 3 sessions but don't think I spent more than the 2 hour allowance.  The stock was from Random-Acts-Stock.  
Spent a while getting the pose down.  Offline I have started working on anatomy so I will probably focus on that for a while using Loomis and Bridgeman.

Trying to get some more practice rendering and refining.  Being somewhat short on available time is not helping progress with this.  I was working in one to two  hour bursts so being looking at this dude for about 2 weeks.

As promised after the last study I went ahead and tried to apply some of what I learned.  Changed up the lighting big time.  Anyway pushed everything as far as I could.  Sketched it out in grey scale then dropped in the colour.  You can see it drifted somewhat from the early sketch.
