Day 5 v5

I'm currently working on the 1 week of creation. This is day 5, it's actually the 5th version. Playing around with Photoshop, I'm trying to establish the look and feel for a personal project. I do like the contrast in color with this version, and I like that it feels more like an environment. This rendered so much better than the 1st 4 I'm debating if I want to create another one. We'll see :)

Starting to get back into the habit of doing daily sketches.

Seeker in Forrest

Here's a fun piece I worked on. Hope you enjoy.

Speed painting - Castle with a view

I'm actually pretty happy how this painting. I can see a lot of improvement from the previous speed paintings to this one. Several things were changed in the approach, the one thing that sticks out to me was to allow myself permission to paint how I feel and not by what I see. In general I was adding too much detail too early in the process. By only focusing on the form an composite, it forced me to work on details at the end. Below you'll see the reference photo I used.

Speed Painting - Log Cabin

Here's a log cabin piece I did within in 90mins. Below is the reference photo I used

Speed Painting - Water Fall

Here's another speed painting I started this morning, and below is the reference. I still think the color is a little flat, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
