Wensleydale

Another one of these. This one took a bit longer than the previous one because I got caught up adding more detail. I’m not entirely sure I like the two closest characters, I feel like they could have… well, more character. I like the rest of it though. I may move on to some placesContinue reading “Wensleydale”

Visit Yorkshire! You’ll Like Our… Stile.

I’ve been meaning to do an ode to Yorkshire for a while now, and since I’ve been getting in contact with some local businesses in lieu of collaboration, I figured this was the perfect time to show off. This is a view of Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales, check out this link for more detailsContinue reading “Visit Yorkshire! You’ll Like Our… Stile.”

A Mountain of Books

I’ve struggled to read this year. I’m not entirely sure why this is the case but it seems to have been a trend for the last couple of years. I love reading and would class myself (as those fond of labels tend to do) as “a reader”, which I know sounds a bit elitist andContinue reading “A Mountain of Books”

Don’t Overwater Your Plants

I was watering the one plant that I have in my room today and I may have overdone it a tad. The most difficult part of this piece was working out the colours – I tried a few different approaches with this one which included using different shades of blue for everything as well asContinue reading “Don’t Overwater Your Plants”

K2

This was originally just a study of K2 but that seemed a little uninteresting, so I decided to make it a bit more informative. This actually took quite a while to complete because I had to constantly reign in the detail, and in the end I feel like the graphic-y quality lends itself well toContinue reading “K2”

Tip Your Waiter – print

This is the final print version for this piece. I had to change a couple of bits to make the image flow a little better, mostly things like filling negative space and adding detail here and there. I’m genuinely pleased with this one, I like the graphic-y style, simple colour scheme, and abstract aesthetic. ManyContinue reading “Tip Your Waiter – print”

Gouache painting

This is the first attempt I’ve made to paint using gouache for about three years. I’m going to be self deprecating here and say it’s a very amateurish outcome. I wasn’t confident in my brush movement, I wasn’t very sure what brush to even use, and the dark reds should be darker. I’m going toContinue reading “Gouache painting”

French Girl

This was originally going to be a quick study of a cafe scene, but is now instead a prep piece for an actual traditional acrylic painting I’m going to do. I’m not super good at using traditional media so I wanted to do something that would be relatively simple to execute. I’ll post up theContinue reading “French Girl”
