Roy Wood

Quick attempt at the legendary glam rocker - not too happy with how it was going at this particular point so imagine I'll work over or into it at a later date.

Recent sightings have got me back sketching frogs and toads. A few weeks break have left me a little out of practice . . perfect!

Jon Jones - Finish

Good progress on the left side, managed to bring some texture out on the temple and cheek bone.

30cm x 45cm / wood / acrylics

Really got to look into getting a little more patient on these pieces, some elements worked, others could've worked with just a little more time.

Girl portrait 3 - Finish

Decided to curb the deadline on this piece, but pleased with the different stroke effects.

Tetris panels - draft two

Tetris panels - draft one

First in a series of panels looking at perspective.

Portrait two - finish

Far from perfect but definitely on the right track. There's more than a few issues, but overall building speed, technique and tonal understanding.

Tetris - color concepting

Carrying on with this weeks trials, tried using a few different brushstrokes alongside the colour variants. Overall it's become clear that in order for everything to fit together, composition is critical.

30cm x 45cm / wood / acrylics

Some interesting tones in there to think on.

Tetris - background expansion finish

Pretty happy with the outcome. Although a lot has to do with block composition, the mixture of tones and directions with the back strokes really does bring a new dynamic to the piece.

25.5cm x 36.4cm (B4) wood / acrylics

Portrait two

Long way to go yet.

Tetris - background expansion

Working backwards from background up is a simple but new move here. Starting with the back gave a lot more freedom in colours and movement.

Although not exactly what I was after, it does look significantly different to other more static pieces I'd been working on.

Expansion one

Working on a larger scale is opening up space for more messing with tones and shapes. Moving away from A4 is definitely a step in the right direction.
