Fly By Night

Fly By Night
Acrylic On Canvas Paper
15.9 x 11"

Something a little otherworldly today. I thought I would challenge myself to use someone else's reference, plus its good practice to work from alternative sources. I had trouble photographing this one but I'm the mercy of the elements. The green and the yellow are a little off in the photograph as well but its the best I can do. That's one of the disadvantages of working traditionally and transferring it to the computer.

     Many Thanks to for use of her photograph. Its nice to come across a stock photographer that doesn't want half the value of your house for permission to use there photos.

Graphite And Watercolour On Paper
15.3 x 18.7"

     Another experimental mixed media piece. I wanted to try and add some colour washes over graphite and gesso to see what would happen. The watercolour stay on the graphite but not on the gesso which makes for some interesting abstraction. Definitely something to explore further.

     I try to avoid flowers as they are too delicate for me to get right. However we must push ourselves as its the only way to improve.

      I want to do a painting of some great tit's and blue tit's but they are proving difficult to capture on camera.

Black Canary Cosplay

Black Canary Cosplay
Acrylic On Canvas Paper

     One more for my cosplay series. A very brave outfit. I also wanted to keep working on painting black things, especially in trying to get the shadows and highlights right. Her jacket was perfect practice for this.
