Forest Final

Was due today, but I want to put a lot more work into it.

Forest WIP

Forest WIP

Awakening WIP.

Starting to color.

Creepy/lost WIP

Working on the ground and path right now. 

Trying to make the path full of obstacles and working on the light shapes.

Forest Project Development

Development for our final project. Two compositions: one is creepy/gloomy after dusk, the other is the forest awakening in the mid morning.

Spring break Sketches

More sketches from photo.

Tree Rendering

Completely forgot to put in the little guy at the bottom of the tree, then I realized I could do a vertical format and thought I should try it out. Looks much better than the landscape one.

In class speed paint.

Sketchbook #12

Plein Air Painting

Painting done at the creek by Happy Hollow. Took about 2 hours. Need to add more light tones and highlights.

Sketchbook #9, 10, & 11

Studies from photo reference again.

Sketchbook #8

Had an easier time with this because Owen did a demo of it in class.
Copy of a photo reference.

Sketchbook #6 & #7

Same as the rest, copied from photo reference.

Starting to get the hang of it. 

Pinecone Painting

Digital Sketchbook #4 and #5

Sketchbook #4, from photo. Had fun with this one. 

Sketchbook #5, from photo. Spent most of the time on the gradation and the brightly lit clouds, but the last ten minutes on the rest of the clouds. Wasn't really sure how to approach the reflected clouds.

Sketch 3: 1-hour photo study

Another 1 hour study

Sketch 2: 1-hour photo study

1 hour study #2. A little better than the last. Think I'm getting used to photoshop.
