Tarn-ation!

Tidied up the glider a bit, tried out some glazes (hence the extreme reflection behind the tail) and added a small blue/green tarn in the middle foreground on the right!  Too much detail to go... aaargh!
Maybe 20% done at the moment.

The hills have some depth

well they getting more life anyway!! lots of work on the definition in the foreground. I think its looking OK.... layers more to go tho...  and then the glazing!  ps: the photo is a bit dark!

Damn but I love those clouds drifting down the valleys.. very serendipitous!

The Hills are alive..

yes, well... slow going but sortof have the main hills slapped on now plus some cloud and a first layer on the Glider. Coming along nicely!

Gliding On and an old mate pops up..

Bit more work on the Glider but the Hills are daunting!.

Lots more detail...  siigh ... to go...

and guess who popped up?.. Warwick is back in the saddle and drawing again. This absolutely amazing portarit of a mate of his was done using a mix of soft & hard pencils, graphite and blending sticks. and judicious use of various rubbers to create highlights. No colours or greys, no wax pencils. 

Lets hope we see a few more of his pics soon..

Glider

Just started a nice A2 sized acrylic painting for a mate..
Pictured over the Southern Alps near Hororata. Has to be emphasis on the landscape in this one but Im finding I need to do a little on the glider each time to work my way into it... so far, so good.

RX7 Swoosh

Added a bit of a swoosh to the track to balance the white areas etc..
This is not the finished version... that has had more work done on the track.

RX7 on the track

Well... Ive coloured in the track showing the curbs as the car heads into a chicane.. but...
Theres an awful lot of white space under and over the car...
Not sure whether to show some grass or just leave it.. less is more im thinking and green grass may clash with the other colours.  decisions decisions...

and I still need to paint in some signwriting...
