Plein Air around CCAD

These are a few plein Air sketches I painted back when I was in university. They were all done with acrylic paint. 

Observational Studies

13x10in

12x12in

These took roughly 3.5hours 

1 Man, 1thousand Faces.

These are all self portraits from observation. I did these over the span of a week after being heavily inspired by figurative artists like Scott Burdick, Morgan Weistling, and Ron Lemen. These each took at most 3 hours to complete. 

Mythology themed Sketches

First, I made a spitpaint of medusa's death. 

With a similar color scheme in mind, I later used "Medusa's Death" as a starting point (canvas) for the cyclops who went on a rampage shortly after losing his sheep.

 Later, I had an idea completely with a color scheme completely different from the previous two.

These were all 30 mins. I'm really tempted to push some these sketches further.  

Desert Series (continued)

More Desert themed spitpaints.

Desert Sketch Series

A while ago, I did a few desert themed spitpaints. Here they are. At this time, I discovered the ability to soften edges when using the lasso tool. 

Speedpaints

monkey turtle

theatre

forest

mark of the wolf

Once again, I come with more daily speedpaints. I'd like to think I've generally gotten better at composition, shaping, color, and all that good stuff, but it's much to soon to expect anything. The practicing never stops.
These were all 30 mins. 

Speedpaint Blues

thanks to the Daily Spitpaint group on fb, I've been drawing a lot of things that are way out of my comfort zone. It's quite challenging I tell ya. On the bright side, If I keep doing this for at least a couple years, who knows what'll happen?

Today's Quicksketches

flying house

flying house 2

Both took 30 mins.

30 minute speedpaints

Top one took 30 mins
bottom 2 took 20.

Mind Market Ground Level WIP

This is the same painting with 2 different color schemes. Only one color scheme will make it to the final painting. This piece is a sequel to a piece which can be found here

Isolated Palace WIP

Here are different concepts WIPs for a palace that is meant to be isolated from the city. I'm showing these to my teacher tomorrow. The plan is to get him to act like an art director and choose one for me to continue pushing.

The Legend of Sundiata (color study)

Here is a color study for a piece which i will be finalizing traditionally. Expect the final version sometime next week. In cas you haven't noticed, I still need to add the lion's ears
