Interior 2

Interior 2

As promised did a longer attempt at an interior. These are hard but I am sure they are good practice. 

A Fall

A Fall

After all those interior studies felt the need to break out some curves and unruly lines.
  
This is loosely based on the myth of  Tír na nÓg.  The hero Oisin meets a mysterious woman Niamh of the Golden Hair,  falls in love and returns with her to Tír na nÓg (land of the young).  After a time he gets homesick and Niamh lets him return but warns he must remain on the horse he travels back to Ireland on. When home he learns that 300 years have passed and all those he knew are gone.   He stops to aid some men moving a stone.  While doing this he falls from the horse and instantly ages and dies.  The horse returns to Tír na nÓg.  

Sketches 25

Cant believe the last set of these was back in April.  Definitely out of practice.

Landscape -Mountain

I recently moved to a new job and with that move I moved to a different part of the country.  This is a view outside my window.  Plein air  - kind of,  cos I was still inside.  Took about 90 minutes.  We have had a run of really great weather so there was great visibility.  I am sure I will attempt this many more times so there it is a kind of benchmark.  By the way if anyone is kind of jealous I cropped the view to leave out the two lorry containers that are abandoned - left over from the Celtic Tiger.

Just a quick sketch - Trying some stuff out.  Hope to put in a more serious effort soon. 

Abandoned place - Speedpaint 4

Abandoned place - Speedpaint 4

Another speedpaint from the DA speedpaint group. The reference was from decay-stock on DA.  This wraps up the interior studies for now.   I started this series without much of a strategy to get any sort of result.  I have tried a few things but for me the most important thing has been to plan the approach - putting in major shapes building up from the background to the foreground.  So with imaginative stuff it will be even more important to have a good idea of where the image is going. Will try and incorporate more interiors to get some practice.

Though still part of the series of interiors this one was not a speedpaint.  I took some time and tried a couple of approaches to getting the lines.  
The reference was from CyrnicUrbex on DA but he seems to be posting more regularly on facebook.
