FALL IN LA

granted it's not as picturesque as Vermont but LA ha it's own unique palate. concrete and orange. lately i've been thinking a lot more about designed shapes versus sight to size/visual impression. this may seem very "real" looking but i changed/altered ever shape in here. i kept the color and tonality true to nature but really pushed the shapes, even though they may have a realistic feel.

holiday iPhone sketches

i say sketches because most were no more than 10 minutes because conditions changed so fast, especially around sunset. within minutes it's a different set up.

artRage 2

i finally decided to give it a spin last night around 11:00 pm, so i downloaded the free version. if you're at all interested in a program that handles alot like oil paint then i recommend you try this. the free version doesn't have too many features which makes it very close to painting in oil. it's great if you want to train your eye and practise color matching the hard way. this was an invented landscape by the way.
