Let's draw, Papa Four!

Here's a sketch I did, broken down into three stages using the 'Loomis' and 'Reilly' methods of head construction. These methods really help with understanding the proportions, structure and planes of the head.

I've been listening to the #takemebacktoeden album loads lately and the band has such a unique visual style I just had to make a Vessel Sleep Token oil painting.

Check out prints in my shop.

Thanks for watching and let me know what you think in the comments and what I should paint next!!

This was a bit of a spontaneous painting, I didn't really have a plan when I started. I threw a layer of raw umber on the canvas then using a rag and some mineral spirits tried to pick out some shapes/faces.

The 'pick out' technique can give some really dramatic contrast and is super forgiving if you need to make corrections during the first layer.

it's kinda giving me 4 horsemen/apocalyptic vibes. Maybe 4 Papas of the Apocalypse?? 👻

Someone in the studio said they were seeing angels in abstract patterns around their faces.

After the success of last month's auction I'm doing another one.

Next up is the 'Viva La Papa' painting.

Painting description:

Oil on Canvas 20 x 30'

Ever since Papa IV came out wearing the golden epaulettes I had this idea of a revolutionary Papa scene. I tried to amalgamate the #Ghostband logo into the flag and hint at the band's Swedish origins.

This painting wasn't originally going to be a #lordoftherings piece but halfway into it I kept looking at the bridge over the waterfall and thought " 🧐 this looks a lot like it could be #rivendell" !

So add the fellowship and there we have it, some #lordoftheringsart 😁

I'm putting this up on my website tonight

I'm a big fan of the Cardinal Copia era and Rats is one of my faves so I just had to do a painting of him!
