Portrait Study 9

 

Portrait Study 9

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. 

Sligo Courthouse Study

Sligo Courthouse

Sligo Courthouse

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.

Interior 2

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