Trying out some different approaches. About 3 hours. The reference was from Wikimedia.
A diary of my adventures in art from painting to 3D animation. I have added work over 16 years so it has become a record of my changing abilities and interests. Contact me if you have any questions.

Portrait Tips
Came across this video a short while back. It talks about taking good photographic portraiture but the principles hold true for any portrait work. The critiques are great. Joe McNallys site is here.

Have not done any portrait practice for a while. This one was happened by chance as I just chose a random file option on Wikimedia.

Baroque Sofa Study

| Baroque Sofa Study |
Thought I had got the last of these posted but no -one was still lurking. A study from the speedpaint study group on DA. Reference from two-ladies-stocks.
I am fortunate to have 2 monitors to work from. I usually put ref on 1 and work from the other. A continuing issue that I kind of ignored was that they were not matched for colour and brightness. I started Livestreaming and the default monitor for their software is the second monitor. This has forced me to eventually try and balance them both as best I can. The reason I mention this is that this was started on Livestream and was a much darker image when I compared to the ref. I spent some time trying to correct it so this did go over the 2 hours.

A study of a Sligo courthouse photograph taken probably in the 1900s. The building remains as a courthouse and the police station remains across the road as it seems was the case back then judging by the figure in the foreground. More information about the building is here.

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