Landscape for

Landscape for 

This was a sample landscape I did for a project. It was rejected. For me it was the first time I merged gouache with digital painting.  They did not want a digital look but my gouache skills are not up to knocking this out to high standard so I did half and half.  It was not totally successful but there are passages that had some interesting effects.  I will practice this a bit more to chase those effects.  
I am still working on a larger digital piece and streaming on Twitch .  Hope to finish it this week.

I have been doing a few different projects - the big ones for my portfolio and some commission work so I chopping and changing between diverse projects. I have the preliminary work for an oil painting.  I worked in stages including a dead layer.   For a larger portfolio piece which is an interior scene I did some quick value studies.  


I started that work and have started streaming on Twitch.  I am currently streaming between 9 pm and 11 pm  GMT weekdays.  Come by and say hello.

 Cutie was a break from all the serious stuff.

Moving on 

Been messing around with this image for quite a while.  I am going to accept where it is at and move on to something else.  The good is it was a challenge and I pushed it to learn as much as possible but I am into diminishing returns.  I have another larger piece that is in a similar phase so I am finishing it and moving on to another large image.  All are to update my portfolio.
