Coinhero's sketchbook

[Coinhero]

did some work on this



so today I went on a trip with some friend and I did painting from real life for the first time, and man its crazy. First time painting somethings thats not a flat graphic shape with gluache and it was hard. The things I've learned from oil painting I feel like only got in my way when making this :D also the light was changing super fast, it went from really bright and saturated to everything being in shadow in like 30 mins. We should have gone earlier in the day I wanted to do more studies. Painting like this from life is much more difficult than I imagined, all the bug crawling on me and holding my sketchbook with one hand while mixing paint on the ground, its crazy I have a whole new appreciation for James Gurney and other people that paint from life and do it so well.


picture of the same spot when before I started painting. My phones camera really burned the light -,- it was a lot more red. Hopefully I can make this a weekly thing I do for the summer but its hard to organize
