Bruce Lee painting finished
FINALLY got around to finishing this off, after about a year on the easel. Probably could have done loads more on it, but I couldn’t justify spending any more time, going to move on to the next acrylic and play with some more colours. I particularly like the cuts across his stomach, although they’re probably [...]
Painting of Abbie
Here’s a monochromatic digital painting of my 3 month old niece, Abbie, that I did for my stepbrother’s birthday. Great exercise in values, and got the seal of approval from the proud parents! I’m looking forward to finally meeting her in May at their wedding, I’m sure she’s even cuter in real life!
Thom Yorke Caricature – Digital Painting
Well, I started this one a few months ago, and wasn’t particularly happy with how it was going, so I had a break and came back to it. Once I had changed the background, I could see the finished painting in my mind, so it was a joy to complete. Thom Yorke is notoriously ‘difficult’ [...]
Bruce Lee Acrylic progress
This has been on the easel for months! I thought posting my progress might inspire me to keep working on it. This is pretty well blocked in, I just need to work on the detail now. It’s the first acrylic I’ve done for ages and I’m really enjoying it.
Bruce Willis Caricature
Here’s a digital painting I did of Bruce Willis for a Schoolism assignment a few weeks ago.
Acrylic Painting step by step – Boat part 6
I managed to get this painting finished just in time for Christmas, and my stepdad was delighted with it! In this final stage I refined the reflections in the water, and blended them into the surrounding green of the sea. Then I just had to add all the finishing details – the guardrails on the [...]
Acrylic painting step by step – Boat part 5
Here’s stage 5 of my boat painting, it’s starting to near completion now. The main addition in this step is the shadow on the white cabin, which gives the boat a more three-dimensional feel. The shadow is mainly white with a touch of Payne’s Grey, but there is also a hint of warm Yellow Ochre [...]
Acrylic painting step by step – Boat part 4
This is turning into a long process. I hope I can get it finished by next Thursday, when I’m going to my sister’s for Christmas. Here’s what I did last night. I’ve added the dark blue shadows to the hull, and painted the four fenders along the side. They look a bit wierd just floating [...]
Acrylic painting step by step – Boat part 3
After the third stage of painting, it’s starting to look a lot more complete. I’ve worked on the sky gradient, blending from a lightish cobalt blue with a hint of green, adding more and more titanium white as it gets closer to the horizon. I’ve filled in the blue hull of the boat with a [...]
