Valentines

Happy Valentines 

Thank you Ian for allowing me be a part of your life <3

Speedpaint: Portrait

Spent a bit longer. About 35mins

Speedpaint: Dog walking

about 30mins

Speedpaint: Cliff

Argh! 30mins is too short! I barely get the things I want to paint blocked in and *DING!* time's up!
I seem to be using lasso tool much more than I used to, which I suppose is nice as it keeps my layers so much cleaner than when I just block in with brush.
This far from finished pic looks terrible hahaha

Speedpaint: Old man

Old man
30mins
Playing with limited palette that has a small range of values

Speedpaint: Clouds

Cloud practice
About 30mins

Speedpaint: Blowing Bubbles

An ant blowing bubbles in the moonlight :)
20mins or so

Speedpaint: Sad Moon

30mins. Photoshop.

I realized that I need to work faster and should do more short timed paintings after working on a single painting for over a week.
Managed to get way less than I expected done in within 30mins... Still have a lot of work before I can do a decent speed paint.  

Painting: quick portrait

A quick-ish portrait I was working on during work down times. I love green eyes. <3

A couple of hours here and there, not completely sure how long I spent on it.
Used to paint portraits all the time, not sure why I kind of stopped. It is still one of the most fun things for me to paint. 

Watercolor Sketches

Some small paintings from my watercolor sketchbook
