Twenty Minutes Warm Ups

They didn´t take twenty minutes... the idea is to focus on shapes and shadows and really learn how to see better and improve your painting ...

  

Figures

Hi All

It has been a lazy week for me ... Taking a real break so my overworked body and soul get a chance to recharge for the upcoming few projects of costume design, coming my way... the best thing to fill my time is painting ... and viewing my friends´blogs and learning.

I have been painting a lot of scenes with figures lately ... it was unintentional but when I looked through my files I found quite a few...

I paint figures in a painting without any facial features ... to me the body language is what makes a figure say it all from a distance ... and this gives me a chance to study the posture and focus on form and darks ... I literally paint only shadows and most times I leave the highlights as pure white paper ...

Hi everybody...

Thank you so much to everyone who is kind enough to follow my blog...



I am sorry if I don´t post any new work , all the paintings I am posting were done a few months ago, since I am currently working on storybook illustrations and they take a lot of thought and time , and are full of details, it wasn´t easy to find too much time to paint for fun and passion. I will be finished with these soon and I will be able to share more with you...



These were done for a weekend painting event for wetcanvas each one took about an hour and they were all done without preliminary sketch

this is done in sepia watercolours on paper

A pencil study of the same figure as the previous painting

watercolours on paper also without a preliminary sketch

watercolour painting figures, lanscapes and more

Hello everybody ... thank you for everyone who is following my blog and leaving comments... I appreciate this a lot...

I guess that was not the right time to start a blog ... you see I´m still very busy ... but at least I am posting my work that I have done the past few months ... that is before I got really busy.

These are a few landscapes done in January for the WDE on Wetcanvas...

All done without a prelininary sketch and in watercolours on paper
