This I’ve been working on for about 10 hours and don’t feel it’s quite where I want it. I’ve been doing studies of skin and this is the product of my learning (Still needs work but I’m having trouble figuring out lighting thing properly). Looks like I need to work on composition, color palette, and fabric some more though. I’ll get there eventually.
This WIP I’ve worked on for 3 hours. Need to fix the perspective of the temple part. It’s partially a “photobash”. I used a reference/mash with my father’s photo of Lees Ferry, AZ. He will kill me when he finds out I mashed it though, “that’s not ‘real’ painting”. He’s a Southwest Oil/Acrylic Painter/photographer and very inspirational You can find his stuff Google + , Fineartamerica in these places. I envy his skill with environments.
But below is the original photo that he gave me.
