Painting on Location
This was the first time for me to actually paint something on location. I went to Highpark in Toronto with a group of friends (Jean, Andy, Katarina, Jeeyoon, Lisa and Chu) and simply... painted. I choose to work with gouache for this painting, which proved itself to be a bit of a challenge, as we were sitting on a hill: paint rolling to one side of the pallet, sitting on an angle, etc. Nonetheless, it was fun to do and hopefully I'll do it again sometime (soon?) I defintely altered the composition for this painting a bit. Altogether it probably took roughly three to four hours, I believe: kept it nice and rough :)

Turned out great and it has a touch of Narnia in it too with that lamp post. Now all you need is a couple of talking animals and some children and you are good to go. :D
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you know about this guy but none the less he does have some great techniques for illustrations considering that he's a great book illustrator famous for his Dinotopia series. You should check it out.

Haha, I totally added that lamp post in myself :P It's really, really rough, so I'm surprised you saw it!

I was always good at finding details. But I bet you are too. :)
