Here's a newer piece done using a different process, gives me some cleaner results. Let me know what you think!

An impressive collection of works my friend. Your composition and lighting is strong. A very painterly feel and grit to them. Do you spend a lot of time doing studies?

Thanks for the comment Jason.

Study wise, I have spent a lot of time sketching from life in the past, and make sure to always have a pencil and some paper on me. I've only very rarely done any proper 'studies' from life/photos/master paintings though; the information doesn't seem to stick very well and I lose focus.

Instead I've found that I tend to learn faster through creating personal paintings and referencing my favourite artists as I paint, sometimes referencing life and photos too. As I'm creating I'll constantly look again and again through my favourite art and that reminds me of the kind of results I am after, so I can steer the piece towards that goal.

So I guess I do spend a lot of time 'studying' but not on 'studies' exactly. Hope that's a satisfactory answer!

Thanks Nenad!

Haven't had much time to finish stuff recently, but hoping my situation is going to change soon and I'll have more time for painting. Here's a piece I finished a couple of months ago, got a few more to upload soon:
