Work in progress. Experimenting with some extreme perspective. I've always been fascinated with squeezing foreground, middleground and background all into one visual experience, as a visual narrative path. Very much inspired by traditional japanese landscape painting, as were many french impressionists in the 19th century. For example, Monet had an extensive collection, that you can see at his home in Giverny. #drawwhatyoulove #drawanyway #charcoal #theprocess #workinprogress #ontheeasel #drawings #draw #instadraw #instaartist #instaartwork #artlife #artlover #contemporaryartist #perspective #perspectivedrawing #fromlife #traditionalart #classicalart #realismart #waterfall #contemporaryart #classicalrevival #creativeuprising #creative #instadrawings
Back to my dinosaur sketching! What else would I be doing outside of portrait workshops, other than draw the fossilized skeleton of a Stegosaurus, or the 10,000 year old skull of a Sabre-toothed Tiger? Stegasorus lived in the late Jurassic 150m ya, and the sabre-toothed Tiger only as far back as 10,000 ya. A huge time void between the world of dinosaurs and recent prehistoric wildlife. It's always fascinating to imagine: What would have hapenned if Dinosaurs never went extinct? #sketchbook #sketching #pencildrawing #drawwhatyoulove #justdraw #drawings #pencildrawing #naturalhistorymuseum #dinosaurs #sabretoothtiger #museum #inspiration #dessiner #dessiner #croquis #moleskine #stegosaurus #jurassic #instadraw #instasketch #classicalart #animalart #fromlife #fossil #artlife #dinosaurlover
Another great group of students for the 5 day intensive portrait workshop @florenceacademyofartswe . Learning the process first and foremost. So much to go through, but with 6 hours a day you'll be surprised how much you can get done! From charcoal block-in all the way to value & colour development. Anders Zorn paintings in the local art museum to provide inspiration, especially considering we're also using a limited palette. #portraitpainter #portraiture #portraitworkshop #artteacher #artschool #workshop #oilpainting #fromlife #limitedpalette #peintre #peinture #peinturealhuile #charcoal #theprocess #instateachers #instaartist #instaart #instaportrait #instapaint #contemporaryartist #contemporaryrealism #classicalart #classicalrealism #traditionalart #inspiration #
The hardest part to learn sometimes in painting, is to know how to take it slow and feel comfortable with each intermediate stage. Don't rush to the finish line! 5 days intense portrait worksop @florenceacademyofartswe with a limited palette. One brush per colour/tone, so things dont get muddy. Swipe right for some details of brushstrokes. #portraitpainter #portraiture #portraitworkshop #theprocess #oilpainting #artteacher #artschool #demo #peintre #peinture #leportrait #limitedpalette #contemporaryartist #classicrevival #contemporaryrealism #artlover #justpaint #instapaint #instaportrait #instaart #artlife #closeup #brushstrokes
