Summer Isles

While I'm giving "Riverside Dwell" a break (I must change that title), I thought I'd have a go at an SAA challenge.  It shouldn't take very long, which considering there's only a couple of days left on challenge, is good.  Here's its rapid history:

Summer Isles

That was quick: all done with one day to spare.  I like the quick paintings - they don't feel overworked.  I like them better when they don't look half done.  I am pleased with this one.

Lots more detail now:

The buildings have finally found their mark and the scenery blends in a bit better.  Nearly done now.

Life Drawing Live

OK, I had to have a go: I haven't done anything like enough life drawing so I had a go at BBC4's Life Drawing Live.  It's not quite the same: the TV screen does the projection for you, but its still good practice.  I put together my results along with other members from our club on a new club website page.  All good fun and good to contrast our different styles.

A Riverside View, Part III

This has got a bit delayed from the last posting because we had our first on-line art club demo last Tuesday, thus no work until Saturday.

This is looking better, but I'm still to be convinced.  More done on Tuesday (painting night) with improved results.  This painting has not escaped me yet.

Another Tuesday and it is beginning to show promise.  There are still some problems, but they look surmountable.

Riverside Dwell, Part II

Another Tuesday night and some progress on:

Riverside Dwell

It is promising, but yet convincing.

Another from the backlog.  This painting is the inspiration for the current project, so it was well worth adding now.  It was fun to do and an interesting result.

New project time.

Back to oils again.  This is a revisit, and the original has a full set of photos so I'll be putting that together shortly.
