New Paintings!!!

 Its been a very busy school year so I have neglected my blog for a while.  I have created some oil paintings and I have also done some plein air painting.  The painting of the river started off as a plein air painting but it quickly became a studio painting since I finished it at home.  Both the blue jays and horror self-portrait are painted in oils on primed illustration board.

Snake Acrylics

 

I finished this painting yesterday.  I designed it so that it can be cropped to a square for an album cover.  It is 12 by 16 inches, fluid acrylics on coldpress watercolor paper.  I had to adjust the colors in the final scan, paynes gray always seems to scan way too saturated.

Moth Painting

 

I finished another painting today.  My Mother shot the reference photo, it is a moth that landed in her garden.  This one is 12 by 16 inches, fluid acrylics on cold press watercolor paper.

New Paintings!

 Hey all!  Summer camp is over so I had time to paint!  I haven't uploaded work here in a while so here are three new paintings.  Three of them are sketch book paintings, the tiger is painting on a sheet of 12 by 16 coldpress watercolor paper.  The sketch book paintings are all 9 by 12.  All of them are painted with golden fluid acrylics.

Eagle Acrylics and some Yellow Flowers

 Hey all, finished another painting, this one is dominated by purple.  Also I start teaching summer camp in a couple weeks so I will be drawing and painting in my sketchbook instead of doing full illustrations.  The yellow flowers are the first painting done for my sketchbook.  It is some sort of flower from my Mother's garden.

Owl Acrylics 2

 

Hello Everyone!  Here is another owl painting.  It is 12 by 16 inches, fluid acrylics on cold press watercolor paper.  I wanted this one to appear like it is dominated by red even though there isn't really a true "red" present in the painting.  Red is a difficult color so there are a lot of yellows, yellow-oranges and reddish browns in this painting.  I used four different pigments to complete this painting - burnt sienna, pyrrole red, primary yellow and primary cyan.  I find that so long as I have access to any yellow, red and blue, I can complete any painting.  Of course a lot of mixing is required but I find if I limit the number of pigments, I get a much stronger illustration or painting in the end.
