more Plein-air painting

Self-Portrait

Oil on Canvas. Still working on those portraits =) it was actualy a little more of a struggle working on a self-portrait. It's just hard to stop, the longer I work on it, the more I see.

Getting back in to Plein air painting

I'm trying to get more Plein-air paintings done. However, by keeping my composition simple and more zooming in to the objects, I'm working more on my color choices, and understaning what happens to the color under the sunlight and in shadow.

Portrait

working more traditional lately. 8.5X 11. oil on wood pannel. I've been working more and more with portraits lately, an area that i didn't explore much before. I'm deffinatly enjoying it a lot more now, and I'm having fun again painting with a brush and paint.

Here is an older illustration that i had.I expeirment a little with this one , adding warmer shadowes and more texture.

YUMMMMMMMMY !!!

Just a little fun illustration. I was going for a bright joyfull look, making the cupcakes especialy standout.I think I'm pretty happy with how it turnend out.

portrait sketch

just practicing my portraiture! I'm a little rusty when it comes to portraits, so I'm taking some time to practice. I did go into Painter and added some of the detail ( hmmm!! still don't know if it was a good idea !!! ) . However, I'm actualy really enjoying portraits , especialy when it comes to noticing all the subtle details that makes each indevidual who they are to get the likeness across.
