Digital portrait "Boinda"

Here comes some digital painting after a looong time. Almost forgot how great fun it is ... need to practice more and get back the lost grip... 

I´ve started this during my twitch stream, but finished offline, so I don´t have the full video progress... what a shame... :)

CS4 + tablet Huion

"Boinda"

Acrylic painting "Home"

I´ve finished painting of my parents house finally... was working on this too long (meaning - walking around this on my easel). Not very good idea to go start with very poor reference from google street map, moreover printed just in black and white...  next time I´ll be smarter, proper colorful photo reference can make things much easier...

btw, I hate that green...

Acrylic paint on 30x40cm stretched canvas, signed varnished, ready to hang on my parents wall...:)

Flight with hot air balloon

Sorry for no updates for a looong time... it´s a very busy spring... 

This post is not related to painting, you can see my video from a balloon flight... no more comments needed, I guess ... :)

Enjoy...

Acrylic painting (study) "Louka u lesa"

Here comes next traditional painting (study) inspired by another artist - Laurel Daniel . She´s very inspiring plain air painter with wonderful works full of colors and light...

During this study I was focusing mainly on big color masses and the mentioned light. Also details are partially suppressed.

I was using painting knife from the beginning so there are also visible some marks...

Acrylic colors on 30x40cm stretched canvas, will be varnished...

Digital portrait "Heaven"

There was a digital painting hangout this week and I´ve started digital portrait inspired by a clip "Wrong side of Heaven". It was not finished (see the WIP picture) but I stayed tuned and proceed with this painting till the state I would call "finished" :)

It´s still more like a sketch...

Acrylic painting (study) "Orchids"

I´m a new subscriber of the "Plain Air" magazine this year. There is a lot of inspiring stuff. I saw there amazing painting of orchids from Jerry Markham and decided that I must make some study of this awarded masterpiece... so here it comes... :)

The original is painted with oils my version is done with acrylics, painted on stretched canvas 40x30 cm...

It was a fun and also interesting ride because this not my usual "style".

Acrylic painting "Green bridge"

Here comes next acrylic experiment called "Green bridge" (Zeleny most). I was inspired by cool macro photography of ladybug and I was trying to imitate those nice blue-greens and smooth gradients. 

I would say that colors are quite good but gradients with acrylic paint is real challenge (quite known true, I guess). I had also hard times with ladybug red color, even red right from tube was not so shine red as I would like to have...there must be some trick...:)

Anyway, enjoy the Green bridge painted with acrylic paint on 32 x 24 cm  = 12,5 x 9,4 inch cardboard 400g/m2, signed and varnished...
