Here is a small collection of some of my favourite video game/book/movie heroes ♥ I have a guilty pleasure for FF7, but I want to dabble into more fan art of Baldurs Gate/Elden ring characters.
One thing I notice about this group of flowers is how much room there is to improve. I love the relaxed, confident brush strokes - but I know I can work on the edges and create that softness. I think I’m still stuck in filling the canvas with detail. Like a photo.
I can’t wait to see where I’m at in some time. Being conscious of soft and hard edges, focusing on the right spots of the painting and letting the rest melt into itself.
I will probably paint flowers until I’m old and grey. What’s not to love about them ♥
I’m loving the chunky brush strokes and strong shapes that fruit allow, I find this subject the most forgiving if the proportions aren’t perfect. As long as you have the sweet dark reds of an apple, your brain will probably register it as such, even if it’s a red blob with a stem. Blocking in the planes of shape and colour just itches my brain in the best way. Most of these were quick paintings, and some were even just warmups before another piece.

This is the fun page, there's no reason for these,
more of a 'I'd like to paint this today' collection.
Enjoy. ♥
Landscapes are where I can be the most free. Really a paint stroke can be a rose bush, tree, or a shadow. Theres not a lot of structure and this is where I feel I can work on lighting and colour temperature the most. Light in a landscape bounces off of so many places. How close or far away it is will determine a lot about what we see, or rather were ‘able’ to see. I love playing with pathways and hillscapes.
A place to explore romantic gestures, sexuality, the human body, and all the parts that make us what we are. Movement and moments. Intimate stills that are cherished because they are unique and their own, special to us. I hope to get better at anatomy. Hands and faces are extremely easy to get wrong and land in uncanny valley territory. I want to capture the actual feeling during these times. What it feels like to ride a bike, to be held, to be vulnerable, and to dance. ♥
