Not a Speedpainting

Because Lazy Me did homework instead.

Perspective!!! You FLATTENED it! Too even, values not dramatic enough... edges... rushed it... yeah really wierd values. Whacko perspective. How hard should it be to remember ONE v-point? Maybe it's the fact you can't draw straight lines? UNslope your perspective lines! I hope no one takes my advice on perspective... This is proof how bad it can get.

Start with the photos that make you groan.

Like learning the clarinet, start with the hard stuff and it'll get easier?

Simple perspective next time. Work the perspective. Focus on the perspective. You can't even do one-point. Look at this! OK so values got a little better. Luck? Why havn't you uploaded other speedpaints, hmm? Lazy.

Picking images you definitely cannot complete in 45 min. Try something you think you CAN do? No tilts or crazy details. Something where you can indicate edges and shapes without making marks that looks like BLAJEFUTS!!! Use diff brushes. Too much on the hard round brush@ high opacity.

Don't scramble to finish the work as time runs low!!!

The dreaded cityscape...

My new meditation, it seems. Maybe I'm too relaxed doing this? Next I should try some REAL perspective. And consider the colors and values better. And acknowledge the composition, stop evening things out like that!

One good thing:  match the colors without grabbing swatches from the photo.

1/2 hour piece turned into 45 min. A cowboy about to get trampled by the mustang he caught.

I understand the lighting is inconsistent, and the horizon line is awkward. And I really have to fix my layering technique... Many more things I could list that I could have corrected in the timeframe if I'd noticed them sooner.

This first one will be a fun toss... gotta work from photos from now on. Going straight to the stuff I have the most trouble with.
