2019 Travel Studies

I was very lucky in 2019 to travel to New York, I sat down twice to paint.
Can you feel the humidity at the park & heat in the morning!

End 2019 & 2020 studies

 A crazy couple of years for sure, but I do still find time to paint studies when I can. Here is a bunch!

2019 and more observation paintings

Pears!

Studies painted at my desk, first under diffused light and then I changed it to direct. The change in saturation is remarkable!

Winter Cafe Sunshine

Hitchcock Vertigo Studies

Seeing how a colour can transform a character throughout a film. I learnt so much from painting these studies of Hitchcock's Vertigo. ❤️💚

Mandarin Lighting Change

Mandarins painted under diffused lighting first, and then the challenge of direct light. And as always, comparing my values.
