Still Life Speedpaint 2

Still Life Speedpaint 2



A still life speedpaint study inspired by the deviant Art group.  They had some photo refs but as it was still life I worked from real life.  Working from life is different to working from photos. Didn't take a photo of the set up on the day so there are differences between photo and study.  Yip my dog photo bombed.

Portrait 9

Portrait 9   

This portrait from imagination for practice.  Haven't had a chance to do much study of late so what will be posted over the next few days is an eclectic mix of stuff.  A lot of it produced when I was fairly tired.
