Masked


Just a morning exercise, pushing myself to start doing these in color, this one took about 1.5 hours. Could have continued to push this one, but I'm trying to keep these under a hour, since its just an exercise, I don't want to get lost in an image that's simply a sketch. We'll see how these start to pan out, but over all I've been wanting to develop more of my color since I feel that many of my paintings seem to be either to bright, to dark, or just simply not enough contrast to make me happy with them.

Morning Portraits







Hello again, and welcome. Once again I've let this blog go for to long before updating it, so here are some images. Most of these are just morning sketches, about 30mins to an hour each, as well as another finished image that was made for the art store as a sign for one of the easels we sell.
