Bedouin 2

This is an attempt at speeding up the painting process, this rolled in at 20 -25 minutes from concept to finished article.  The colour scheme was inspired by Rembrandt, Turner and Blanche. The title is rather random as the subject matter was inspired by Moorcock this extended to the environment also, I vaguely remember a passage in one of the Erekose novels where he mentioned a beach with obsidian cliffs so I thought I would try and imagine a reflective rock surface catching the light of a setting sun. I feel the mount is rather lumpen  and could do with some resolution, yet the rider would need to remain the focal point.

Hot Rod

I painted this to trial some techniques for painting high- gloss materials and smoke. The materials are a departure for me and rendering them was rather enjoyable. I enjoyed the subject matter as well, inspiration for the colour scheme came from the bold schemes of hot-rods and customs such as this bad boy:

yummy.
