I was going to do this painting with full color but after I completed my block in sketch I thought the shapes looked so good I just left them alone and made it a sunset.
I just recently saw the movie "Tangled" and I loved the design through out the movie. I thought to myself..."I can do something like that!"...so I got some reference online, found this picture or the lead male and decided to recreate it. The only thing I recreated was the sketch of the character everything else is me.
I had been trying to get this painting done since my trip to Italy in 2010 and after a year of procrastination....da da da daaaa! Here it is!
I was working on a freelance job doing some design stuff for this company and the owner asked if I had ever heard of this bird before. Of course I hadn't, so he asked me to do a painting for him of this bird and this is how it came out...I Think it looks pretty good...I really took to the greens and blues in this bird. If you want to know about this bird, the story is really quite cool, you should check it out....google it!
This is a follow up painting to "The Mine Shaft". I have to say, I'm starting to take a new look at these silhouette pieces and finding myself loving them more and more
This was a painting that I started on the last night I spent on St.John Island. Although I only started it there the picture was clear inside my head...also I took some snapshots of it. I feel that it came out to my liking. I was really into the color pallet for the painting, plus the contrast, shapes and composition were pretty awesome as well. As for the picture above. I took a photo of someone standing and implemented a painterly style over the top of the image. I feel that it adds a life to the painting that isnt there on the first one, even-though I like the first one more.
I went on one of the best vacations with my babeface and on the third day we stumbled upon this beach and I thought "Hey!, since Im sun burned, I think I'll sit in the shade and paint, instead of letting the sun destroy my skin."
And this is what I did.....I know its not the best composition, but It was the only place that was plat and in the shade.
