PAINTINGS

Digital preliminary sketches. Im not a pro when it comes to photoshop. But I the computer can be alot more efficient, when it comes to getting a colour study sketches done. These are mostly random scenes, but one of them you can probly notice is what inspired the final piece done in guache, a couple paintings below. It was a Day and Night type scenario.




We needed to do a warm and cool scenario for this particular project. This is my 'warm' one. Colour palette included.




Jungle clearing, with rays of sunlight coming down. Done in guache.





The Night and Day scenario I mentioned earlier. Keep in mind, as I would have liked to have spent more time on painting these....I didn't, as an end result all of the above paintings I would label 'painting Sketches' rather than finished pieces. I do them too rapidly and under pressure to call them finals. I take about 2-3 hours on each. Im planning on kicking up the guache skills during the summer as well. People I talked to seem to be really divided when it comes to guache. Some people say they can't paint transparently, others say that they can't paint opaquely. I paint with it more as a watercolour, hence the sketchy rapid, flowy look to some of the pieces. I really want to work on solidifying my paintings, getting to understand guache a little bit better, because, as unforgiving as it is....its just such a damn nice medium to paint with.
