Forest speedpaint



I was working on another illustration but still have a ways to go.  This is a speedpaint I did of a forest landscape study from photo.  Took about 90 minutes.

After Thomas Moran - Cliffs of Green River



A masters study - After Thomas Moran Cliffs of Green River.  Don't think James Gurney would be too happy but anyway don't believe there is any chance this could be mistaken for an original .  Some landscape practice for me.  Done in gouache and I still haven't figured out how to achieve the luminosity that exists in the original.   Dare I do another ?

Tried to do something more complicated in terms of composition here. As ever whenever I try something way outside the comfort zone there is lots to be learned.  This one went at a very fast pace initially but slowed way down with detailing and fiddling with the rocks.  

Big Bear Game Art

  I started creating a series of promotional art for a ficticious game.  This was to practice going through the design process.  I have foun...
