#ThursdayWIP Using this hashtag for its original intention: Posting the thing I am working on, if only to get me to actually look at it for a few minutes and start thinking about where to go next.
And then play games for the rest of the day.

(The reference doesn't have any strong directional sunlight, and I think that might be throwing me off a fair bit with this one. Might just try and use it to experiment with interesting textures and abstractions, I dunno.)
#Flowers #DigitalArt #Rebelle

A work in progress digital painting of a bright magenta flower. I think it is some kind of rose species, but the large petals lie more open and its stamen are clearly visible in the centre. So far, the painting has a lot of scratchy, rough lines as I try to describe the muted shading in an otherwise highly saturated colour palette.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 15.
Hiroshima Bay, painted in Rebelle, with my own photo as reference.
Sometimes, quick and simple is what my mind needs, and the photo lent itself very well to this.

#DigitalPainting #Seascape #Japan #DigitalArt #Rebelle #Art

A digital painting of a bay, at sunset. Sea and sky divided by a fairly narrow strip of wooded mountains that are near silhouettes, with a bright glow on the horizon where the sun has gone down. The yellows, purples and blues of the sky are reflected abstractly in the water, and the sky itself is spotted with with fluffy, painterly purple and orange clouds.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 18.
This was referenced from one of my favourite photos from Japan, that I took in 2009. I just love the colour palette and the feeling of space and distance.

A digital painting of the Itsukushima torii (temple gate) standing in the water of Hiroshima Bay. It is nearing sunset and the image is cast in blues and purples in forested mountains in the distance, with a light golden tint on one side of the picture. The gate is bright red with a dark roof, and is reflected abstractly in the greys and browns of the water.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 13.
A much quicker study in Rebelle, trying some virtual plein air. I picked this scene in the Netherlands on street view for some landscape practice.

A digital painting of a leafy road in a flat landscape under a cloud streaked blue sky. Spring sun casts dappled shadows of small trees across the grass verges and grey asphalt, lying between wide fields, as yet empty of crops. A small stand of taller, darker trees can be seen in the distance. The whole thing is painterly in style, with a quick, slightly unfinished feel.

A digital painting of a grassy plain dotted with yellow flowers. A far off house stands in the centre of the picture, picked out by sunshine, and behind it there are forests and huge mountains rising up, enrobed in thick could.

Tall, narrow buildings in pastel colours that reach towards a pale blue sky. The windows of the main building have small balconies with metal railings, some have laundry hanging outside, some have rugs or bedding draped over the rail. .

A pale ginger tabby cat with big yellow eyes sitting in a black bucket, looking eagerly upwards towards the camera.

Two little brick and tile-roof buildings tucked into rolling green fields, with a bank of dense dark green pines in the background and big rocky snowy mountains topped with clouds at the horizon. In the foreground, little yellow buttercups dot the grass.

A woman in an ornate black gothic dress with lots of frills and ruffles, that falls down to her feet, in black shoes. The dress has a high collar at the bac that comes up just over her head, with black feathers around the edge. She's wearing a wide black tiara that dangels beads over her forehead, and has a black and red choker around her neck. She's looking off to the side, her hands clasped in front of her.

Butternut house - planning a home expansion!
I think this wood mouse is growing herself a little workshop.

Tried to do something with a similar approach to the digital charcoal stuff I've been experimenting with but in color. Pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Sunset no. 3 done. Rebelle 7 again, referencing one of my favourite ever photos that I've taken - the temple gate at Itsukushima. The city in the background is Hiroshima.

#Sunset #Japan #DigitalArt #DigitalPainting #Art #MastoArt #Rebelle

A digital painting of a bay in Japan, where a large, wooden, bright red temple gate stands in the water with abstract reflections. Behind it is a distant city on the far shore, detailed only with basic brush strokes for blocks of buildings, with forested mountains as hazy blue and purple shapes beyond. Overhead is a wide, painterly cloud scape, and the whole scene is lit by a low sun, out of shot to the left.

Small witch or giant capys? 🤔

Some more digital experimenting. I think I'm starting to find my footing a little.
