Observation Taffy Wafer Studies

Love doing quick observation studies at my desk, always learn so much from each one. Here are some salt water taffy and wafer biscuits paintings.

Painted the sweetest thing!

Yummy & pretty still life studies

Still taking the time to observe colour and light with still life studies. Here are some yummy snacks at my desk and some super tricky to paint orange roses!

Film Studies for Nathan Fowkes Schoolism

Week 1 of Nathan Fowkes Schoolism Environment Design Class, he asks us to study some of our favourite images, maximum 1hr each and discover the essence of the image. I decided to paint from some of my favourite movies, to challenge myself to learn more about cinematography but to become quicker at colour keys. No tracing and no colour picking, forced me to be smart with my choices and not get caught up with the details. As you can see, I got a little addicted painting these!

Observing water in trendy cafes

Love trendy cafes in Melbourne and their different ways to serve water. Observation paintings completed while drinking coffee.

Yummy Nectarine Study

Looking at my nectarine snack on my desk yesterday afternoon, I just had to quickly paint a lighting study of it before I ate all!
