#13 and #14

This one was from the view of a house across the street. I do like the tree.....

#12

I should probably do some actual painting.....but I do like this one...

#11

This one actually took a lot less time to do. 

I downloaded a couple of free brush sets for space was just playing around with them. There were a lot of ones with a moon background, so I just went with one of the cool looking brushes, then only added the guy in the corner.

This one comes from two sources of inspiration, my friend Brandon Coates and a show called Kamen Rider 555.

In particular these, a robot painted by Brandon and Faiz Blaster Form.

     

I really want to continue working on this one in addition to other speed paintings as well as explore different brushes and whatnot.

Check out Brandon's work here!

Plein Air #2

There's this tree across the street from my house that has bloomed white flowers.

The white had a tiny bit of yellow in them however, but white was really hard for me to get to show up using the gouache. No matter how much white I used, it just didn't seem to give the effect I wanted.

Maybe I really should have just used a lot more white.

Plein Air # sometime let's say 1

After getting my watercolor moleskine in the mail, I set out to do some plein air painting in gouache yesterday. Although considering I started at about 7:3- pm, I was losing light pretty fast. 

When I stepped outside my house to see what I wanted to paint, I saw a fire hydrant by my house being lit by the sunlight. It caused a really cool highlight on the fire hydrant so I instantly wanted to paint it.

I ran into trouble with the highlight as it didn't achieve the effect I wanted. I wanted it to be extremely bright but I couldn't quite get it.

#4

Rocket On.

A rocket painted in acrylic.

Some of the core shadow didn't show up on my camera though.

...and after some fixes....
