'Last Rites' - painting-from-the-imagination 3 hou

'Last Rites' - painting-from-the-imagination 3 hour practical. I spent an extra couple of minutes at the start of this painting mulling over the framing before putting pen to paper (stylus to tablet). This usually results in a better composition but, most of the time, I'm either too tired, grumpy or in a rush to put any extra thought into planning the layout. A handy mental exercise I'm finding that adds more realism is trying to imagine the behaviors of characters in the environment (here this was painting in shortcut tracks and cart marks into the snow). I had to tinker with the silhouettes of the people a good bit as, like with faces, we tend to read alot at a glance. #concept #cinematography #lighting #painting #conceptartist #conceptart #illustration #medieval #sunset #storm #clouds #realism #landscapepainting #landscape

'Boundary marker' - painting-from-the-imagination

'Boundary marker' - painting-from-the-imagination 3 hour practical. I spent two extra hours on this playing around with Brightness Adjustment layers in Photoshop trying to get the global contrast and coloring right. The center framing composition and foreground shadow is abit off but I liked how the smaller Thorn tree and some of the greenery worked out. I've been trying to make an effort to paint foliage thats more characterful and less like indistinct abstract shapes. #concept #cinematography #lighting #painting #conceptartist #conceptart #illustration #throntree #magpie #storm #clouds #realism #landscapepainting

'North Cape Side Trawler' - painting-from-the-imag

'North Cape Side Trawler' - painting-from-the-imagination 1 hour practical. Another past practical that did'nt work out. I had seabird in the left foreground in the original full width version of this but I could'nt get the pose right. The sky was supposed to be similar to what I remembered a double-layered cloud formation was like that I spotted while out gardening one evening. #concept #cinematography #lighting #painting #conceptartist #conceptart #illustration #landscapepainting #oldboat #shoreline #derelict #oldbuilding #trawler

'Dead beech milestone' - painting-from-the-imagina

'Dead beech milestone' - painting-from-the-imagination 2 hour practical. For the most part I've been using seven different brushes in Photoshop for painting since I started my study back in early 2017 (all sourced from ctrlpaint.com's excellent tutorials). Where possible I try to use a single brush stroke to represent an object particularity when it comes to vegetation and complex textures as this can speed the process up a good bit. I spent most of the second hour on this trying to get the brightness levels and reflections right on the river. In hindsight a windmill might've been more interesting than the dead tree. #concept #cinematography #lighting #painting #conceptartist #conceptart #illustration #snow #beechtree #river #winter #realism #landscapepainting
