Study. 9Aug13.

20 min. color study.

A little bit of a tacky photo reference choice, but so what? Huh?? What about it??  Just let me do what I want! (I chose it for the bounce light, okay?)

Study

A quick study of a photo. I tried painting in one layer using a more 'Sargeant' approach, which I've always struggled with, because I get impatient. I'll try to do a lot more this summer.

Quickie before class....

Where you want to be.

Having fun with stylized stuff...

"To and From."

Cafe Milano

 This started as a master study of a painting by one of my favorite contemporary artists, Chris Turnham (http://christurnham.tumblr.com/), which inspired the plant and the overall lighting. I was having so much fun with it, that I kept adding more, and then I changed it completely. I started referencing this photo I found on Tumblr...

Then it kept growing from there...

Had a lot of fun with this one. The composition isn't the best, but I kind of like this one, if only because I learned so much from it.
