30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 25

indiana-jones-25

Here we have a watercolor painting of Indiana Jones.  I did not initially plan to do this piece just in black and white, but as I started laying in the black shadows i just kind of kept going with it.  I think it turned out alright.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 18

hoth-battle

Now it’s time to take a look at what is happening on the planet Hoth, during The Empire Strikes Back.  I think my favorite part of this is the guy quickly walking by, not trying to ease drop on Han and Leia.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 16

cockpit-paint-16

Here we go into the back end of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.  And, for some reason during my lunch break, I decided that it was time to do a new Star Wars piece.  I have done a lot of Star Wars artwork and it’s been a while since I have completed a new Star Wars piece.  I must say that it felt good to do.

We are taking a look into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon during Episode 4.

You can also take a look at the pencil drawing for this piece, here:

This piece has been sold!

30 Paintings in 30 Days…Again…Day 1

Dick Tracy small

Well, here we go again.  I believe this is the third time I have taken on the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge at https://www.saetastudio.com/30-in-30-blog.  This time might be harder than the others because I’m coming into it without a plan.  I just recently decided to join in and I have no idea what I’m going to paint.  Usually I like to have a few pieces ready before hand to use as a cushion, but that’s not really the case this month.  One thing I am planning to do is finish some paintings that I have started but not finished.  Some of these will include some larger paintings.  Another idea I have to do some studies of work from artists I admire.  So, this month might be quite the hodge podge of pieces.  I guess we will just roll with it.

Day 1’s painting is a 5″x6″ painting of Dick Tracy as portrayed by Warren Beatty from the 1990 film, Dick Tracy.  Its is a mix of different painting media; acrylic, gouache and oil paints.  After I did the drawing on the illustration board, I did a wash of yellow acrylic paint over the whole piece.  Over that, I used black gouache for the under painting and the rest is all oil paints.

In my mind I was thinking I wanted to go for a Norman Rockwell feel to the painting, which I don’t feel came out in the piece.  I have been watching one of Quang Ho’s instructional dvds and the brush strokes, to me, feel more like his than Rockwell’s.  That said, I did really enjoy the process of painting this piece.

Pirates of the Caribbean’s Bridge Pirate

Bridge Pirate

This questionable looking gentleman is one of pirates who are bidding on a bride on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride,  He is perched a top a bridge that you pass under as you exit the auction scene.  He is watching it all happen along with his parrot friend.  This was an ink drawing that I did and then I dropped it into Photoshop and colored it.

Two more days until the new Pixar movie, Finding Dory comes out, and we have one more day of character design studies of Finding Nemo to go after this batch.  My personal favorite out of this group is this last one of this tough looking fish by artist Peter de Seve.
