Here’s my final master study for wk 2 of artcamp 3. Original by Scott Christensen. Really enjoyed this landscape.

This week’s Master study. Studying Ruo Li again.

Another master study of one of Ruo Li’s.

This is a master study I finished of Ruo Li, one of my favorite painter.

I'm currently enrolled in Noah Bradley's Artcamp 3 and I've been practising my color compositions. Here are a few color sketches from one of my homework where I'm studying painters I really like and trying to come up with some landscape sketches of my own.

Entering the Mountain

I haven’t posted in a really long time. It’s because I’ve gone back to the basics and started practicing my landscape painting. I am doing Artcamp 3 with Noah Bradley in my spare time. This is a compilation of value studies I’ve done in the past few weeks. Each study was timed for 30 min. Every page has about 5 photo studies and 5 compositions from imagination.

I now have a portfolio website. You can check it out here.
