"Morgan"

Acrylic sketches + video

I have a new sketchbook for this year and I´m using it also for sketches witch acrylic paint. Here you can see two quick studies of paintings from Johannes Vloothuis (as I have a book from him).

Nothing fancy, main focus was on colors, simplify and values...

24x17cm

 I was trying to stream the progress on my stream channel. You can check the speed up recording.

Digital portrait illustrations for a book

I was looking for some new challenge so I started to work on illustrations for fantasy books "Kult Hada" and "Síla duše" written by Czech writer Petra Dragita Machova. 

I created digital portraits of two main characters and maybe I will come also with some "proper" illustration in the near future.

The book is currently shared on internet, so will see if it will be also printed (with my illustrations I hope:) 

It´s really great new experience to work with the author and discuss all the aspects related to painting...

So behold, here comes Eve and Gar...

 "Eve"

"Gar"

I´m streaming !

I has been doing some research during few last weeks about streaming, streamers and related stuff. I am quite excite about this so I decided to try it too. 

You can check my new streaming channel here - twitch.tv/ultrajaryn , there is also active thumbnail on this blog, top of the right side panel.

I´m going to stream my painting process, usually between 20:30 and 23:00 so you can check whats going on...:)  Currently it´s commented in Czech language, I will try English in the future, maybe. It´s watchable even without sound... :)

Here you can check recorded first stream, it´s speed up 16x so it´s not so boring... :)

 

Here is the current state of the picture:

My new easel and experiments with acrylic

Welcome in the New year 2016. Here comes some blog update after the Xmas long pause...

Portable plain air easel

I was working on my new transportable easel - I would like to focus on plain air paintings this year, so I need to prepare proper gear for it...  Base of the easel is a standard portable camera tripod, the rest are mainly hardboard parts made by me. No rocket science, just check the picture...

Acrylic sketches
Here comes some traditional landscape pictures, I was mostly experimenting with different types of acrylic paint and some techniques.
I´ve  also started new sketchbook for these color experiments. Nothing fancy, just a standard paper, will see how it will handle all the paint...

The first one was painted according my photo reference from Beskydy - Valassko. 22x17cm

"Strom na Javornicku"
