Cityscape Night #1

The strong color contrasts with iPhone paintings make the night-viewes really interesting, mixing shadows and high-lights.
Here is one of my first attempts.
iPad painting.
:)

Lake Monteynard. watercolors.

I paint this one straight on my sketchbook, while fishing on the lake.
Then I used Brushes on the laptop to make it at my own idea.
;)

French Polynesia #1

This is a painting for Kailea, daughter of my friend Chasta.
A view about the island they are living at.
Huahine, and the harbor with boats coming from all other islands of the French Polynesia.
This one comes from Papeete.



I did this painting while looking at two photos I took four years ago when I was travelling there.
I mixed the hut and pier from the first picture and I added some poeple from the 2nd pic, changing the place of the persons.
Here are the pics below :

Lake Monteynard. watercolors.

I try the same way than last drawing, but with real watercolors on a real sketchbook.
Cool result as well.
I will keep on this way too.
;)

Lake Monteynard. Digital 4

I try the simple strokes style on the laptop painting.
Cool result, so I'll keep on this way.

Lake Monteynard. Digital 3

Well, I'm improving the oil painting skills.
Cool.
This one looks like a drawing and not a too close copy from the photograph.
I want more abstract strokes.
Coming soon.
:)



Here is the photograph, from last september :

Olbia. Sardaigne.

I went to the Sardinia Island in Italia during springtime in 2008 and 2009.
Already painted some watercolors from these journeys.
Here is the first digital Oil-brush painting.
Not so bad, but doesn't sound really good to me.
Next one will be better !
Stay tuned.
:)



Here is the photograph used for this painting at home.
I show this photo because some "friends" of mine asked if I used the photoshop settings to turn directly my photos into paintings with the software. I definitely want to show that the painting is not copied and pasted from the photo, it's really painted on a white paper, looking at the photo beside on the screen. You can see big differences about the lines and perspectives if you compare the model and the paintings.
