Hello palette knife

Inspired by local nature I was inspired to actually use my palette knife (something that I barely touched before). Loved the texture, and the contrast. The leaf colour was actually referenced from the bush I saw. I keep leaf reference now in an impressionists painting book I have just for this exact purpose. Had lots of fun creating these.

website update

Managed to get around to updating my website yesterday. Check out new 3d modeling/texturing stills and artwork. Hoping to make a new demo reel later this year.

I have worked on some great projects over the last few years such as Lego Marvel Superheroes, Lego Marvel Superheroes reassembled, Barbie and her sisters in a pony tail, Barbie and her sisters in a puppy rescue, Barbie Life in a Dream House, and Thomas the tank engine (movies and tv epsiodes)

hoo hoo - owl baby in watercolour

Well our baby finally arrived. The last four weeks has been a bit of a blur. Managed to get in a quick watercolour paint of my bundle of joy in his owl hat :)
I have been getting really inspired lately while going for walks around the area, hopefully I'll be painting up a storm again soon!
