One That Got Away

One That Got Away

Worked on this the past few days. It sprung from the previous piece of work where I took a detail from it. 

The next  thing was the pose then the rest followed.  The bird took a ridiculous amount of time- a couple of redesigns.

This image came from a portion of my last character study. 

Worked on this for a while and it went through a few revisions. Seemed to have gained some things and lost some in the revisions.

Started this masters copy a while back during Christmas break - earlier post .  This is the progress.  I layed on all the background detail and painted in all  the foreground major details.  This was after about 4-5 hours work.  At this point the difficulties of painting the textures particularly the grass is becoming apparent- built using lots of layers it seems.  There is a lot of subtlety in the colour shifts in the original. The progress to this point was captured on livestream.

Working on stuff but in the meantime I give you - Russian soldier, a spitpaint.

City in the Stars

Time to do something a bit more detailed and involved.  This was definitely something to  practice some rendering.  It started out quite rough so it took a lot of discipline for me to stick with it.  Could have refined further perhaps but I will take what I have learned and apply to something else.

Landscape after Konstantin Kryzhitsky- pt1

 As  have had the luxury of some time off work I wanted to do some traditional work.  I decided to do a master copy in oils.  This is a landscape by Konstantin Kryzhitsky. I chose this as it looks like a serious technical challenge. I will figure it out as I go along I hope.  I have no idea how the original painting was put together.  I started out transferring the major features to canvas in pencil with the help of a grid.  It was recorded on Livestream.
