DS Paintings

Here are some Paintings I did on my nintendo DS in the new and old versions of colors...


A forest stream nearby where I am staying.

A plant in a window of the cafe I had brakfast in yesterday


Another part of that same forest walk


A DS painting I did from memory of the lake... the oil is further down in a previous post.


and finally, a study from a photo I took in the galapagos.

Sketch doodle

I have been trying to work on big simple shape compositions... here is something that came out of explaining an idea I had.

Plein Air

Here is a plein air oil painting I did on a recent holiday... It was fun! I think I paint a bit thin though, but time will improve it all. Such a peaceful place.

Some studies

I have been painting like a nutter at work, so here are some of my morning warmups to get into the good-painting-zone. I have found these studies really reduce the amount of 'erase, start again' that always happen when you try paint without being in the right mindset.

This is a study of a Zhaoming Wu Painting... so inspiring!

A quick still life... honing those painting skillz. I am amazed by how much you can learn by trying to paint a tissue.

And whilst showin a workmate some painting techniques... and being asked to put eyes on it, this happened....

Bad Hotel...

This is the by-product of a study I did for something at work. I imagined arriving at this place bag in hand expecting a nice hotel... lets hope it never happens!

A new one... somewhat different direction... more character based. Bit clishe, but fun none the less! Im drawing lots still, just not scanning much. This one all PS.

Quickie

Something evil this time...
