Recent paintings

Unfortunately I have not been able to update my blog as much as last term, though this is because I have been deeply focused on the Group Project this semester (all my blog posts went onto the Team blog) which has been going very smoothly. I will be writing a more detailed post about the Group Project later. For now, here are some recent paintings.

I enjoyed this one very much, the brief was to choose a place that I'd like to relax in then add some changes to suit my own personal taste. I turned the local library into a more antique styled one:

Painting mugs is actually a lot more fun than I had imagined!


EDIT: Made a new version of the library painting here.

First post of Second Year, and some final pieces

So here is my first post for Second Year at my Game Art course! Here are the finals that I’ve done so far, two from Abbey Park:


We’ve also been told by the tutors to study the masters and reproduce their works… for this, I chose Rembrandt and Turner. I really like Rembrandt’s portraits and enjoyed imitating Rembrandt’s portrait of Johannes Wtenbogaert. I find that a lot of his paintings have very rich colours against a darker background, which are a pleasure to look at especially the light and shadows. Since I like drawing people very much, I find his art highly intriguing.
