Same location, second try



I like this attempt more. If I could design the space a little better it would be a really strong painting.

Tomorrow I will scout the area before deciding if I want to take another try at this composition or not.

(the picture isnt all that amazing, my camera didn't want to cooperate)

Marr Park




I am pretty happy with this one. The tree on the right could use some work and the hay bails could be designed within the space a little better. I am going to try this painting again tomorrow, hopefully a second try will result with a painting im even happier with.

Updates

I thought I had added this stuff but this morning when I checked it wasn't here. My camera didn't even have pictures of my master study...so I guess I didn't add it.

Master Study-


The master I worked from was Bruce Morrison, the original image can be seen here:

I kinda overshot how much I could do in an hour, and I explained in my midterm that doing more in less time is something i want to work on over the course of the next half of the semester. The image is pretty fitting for my current interest in heavy sky images.

Progress on large painting-


I need to go in and redo the left half of the sky. I was thinking more along the lines of individual clouds instead of designing the space and in general clouds are more of a large blob instead of a bunch of little ones.

I feel like I am making alot of progress...and in comparison to my first few paintings I do think I am getting much better
