Contemplation progress

Refining the sketches

This is a build up from my previous sketch done in oil on top of acrylic. Was experimenting with colors and layers. To me, looks kinda gory and disturbing so I would kinda change something...

This one is loosely base on observation. Getting the base done in acrylic. I love the more freestyle approach that came to evolve in my development of creating my paintings. Less eye strain, more feel...

New sketches for the "Contemplation series"

Out of a sudden, inspiration came breezing right through me in between teaching, the urge is so strong that I just had to scramble my canvases I've prepared and started painting the whole night. 

The approach to creating the series has definitely evolved. Instead of basing mostly on observation, now I tried to loosely observe the foil and paint freely according to what I think and feel should be observed and documented. The colour choices is mostly experimental. Added a bit more texture to the strokes.

These sketches will still be refined as I want to it to have a classical feel. I still can't let go of the classical masters and the captivation the conjured to the world. Peace.
