Practicing

I am learning to use acrylics and speed paint for the Seattle Art Battle.

Below is my first attempt at a 20 min painting. I’m using pictures I took at Fort Warden in Port Townsend, Wa. Eventually, I have to paint from memory.

This one is the best because I worked with a good picture used two skills: vanishing point and lights n darks are close:

My third isn’t that good because of the composition. There isn’t a vanishing point, so it’s difficult to describe what’s going on easily.

Then, I went back to a vanishing point picture and it was easier.

On Mr. “Snow” , I mostly just changed his background color to blue instead of green and happened to make dragon scales.

His face and hair will take a very patient day.
