Bowler Hat Portrait

The reference picture I used had a watermark in a spiral shape in the centre of the face which made it awkward to match colours annoyingly, should of noticed it earlier to prevent problems, or I should start making an effort to start taking my own photographs.

Shopping with Mum

Oil Portrait (First time painting from a photo not pc monitor)

It was a lot easier to reproduce the colours from the photograph, I've only painted from a computer monitor which I don't think is good for starting out, ultimately I want to be painting from life, got a self portrait in the works at the moment.

Portrait of Dad

Second attemp at painting my Dad, below is my first attempt when just getting started with painting, looks a bit mad.

This was painted back in May 2010, one of the flaws with this painting was not enough yellow used.

Ipad Paintings

Got the chance to play with Sketchbook Pro on my brothers Ipad, these are the paintings I did of him.

More Wallpaper and Unfinished Portrait Study

This was taken halfway through but now its caked up in paint looking silly, struggling to recreate the colours I see on the monitor, probably need some real life subjects.

3rd Oil Portrait Study

Next portrait study I need to separate my warm and cool colours, my current pallet work flow is messy and mixed up.

Second Attempt with Oils.

Probably finished this too early but I wanted to move on.

More Quick Wallpaper Sketches.
