September Acrylic Painting



So, to a new medium - acrylic. I've never been very successful with acrylic, but now is a good time to try retry OK, so a canvas of 1m x 50cm. A composition I feel comfortable with and a keeping to a similar technique to digital painting I feel comfortable with - lets see how this progresses over the weeks.


3 hours work... in acrylic











30 minute digital study - I'll be finishing this one too, but it's a great way of figuring out what I want to do next...






Friday 30/09 - DIGITAL Another hour or so...















Saturday 30/09 - ACRYLIC Another three hours or so... I kinda started getting the hang of it by the 3rd hour. It's a rewarding medium, but it takes a bit of getting used to.

September Digital Painting - contd.

Black and white study 2 - now the thing about this, is that it's my first 100% digital painting - no drawing and scanning, just straight into photoshop. Excellent! Still needs more tonal variation, but I did go from reference so it's now just a matter of perserverance.

September Digital Painting - contd.


This was an unfinished piece - it looks very dark, but actually, the technique really started to come together, so I've added as reference for myself... leading on to the next one.

September 2d Sketches - contd.

So, yesterdays sketches...
and black and white study... not sure about this
one - it didn't come out well. But it's a start. I'm having a go with a few tonal studies at the moment.

September 2d Sketches - contd.

Figure Drawing - so, I went to a figure drawing session - severerly of practice, but loads of fun. I found the wine a bit of a distraction, but fun all the same. I've made cartoons instead of something a little more, um, fine arty... I'll keep going with it... 30 second, 2 minute and 5 minute poses.


Daily Sketches - felt inspired today, found a new corner of inspiration.
