Planes

Planes
This is landscape I started way back.  I don't think I have posted it previously.  I was looking through all the unfinished pieces I had and this one was close to finished but got lost in the flurry of character stuff I have been doing recently.  It was a nice change of pace.

The Muscle

Another character.  Started in greyscale then added colour.  Hope I am getting a bit faster at these.

After Shishkin- Gathering storm


After Shishkin- Gathering storm
This is a gouache study of a Shishkin landscape.  First attempt using gouache for landscape. The biggest take home on this was not how to use the paint but the design of the composition. To me it seems there was a lot of design going on here - layering multiple darks against lights.  It seems to me unlikely that you would find so many elements so well composed.  The next biggest learn was how important it is to hold onto the lights in gouache - once they are gone they are gone - I lost them in the foreground.

Healer

Did this alongside working on two other pieces.  Sprung our of sketching did lines and went straight to colour.  Think that skipping value sped things up.
