Those are really neat practice pieces. All in one short week? Dayum.

Thanks Althea and Ciaee. I've added your blogs to my RSS feed and am keeping tabs on you both!

Some took ages to do... others went really quickly. one day I did 10!... the next only 3. :P

It took a while to figure out what I was doing and understanding what I was seeing in the reference; colour temperature, contrast over distance, glow effects etc... I'm glad i pushed through them though.

This looks very good. did you use photo refrence? I love those little painting.I find it really help to start b/w first.get the contrast right seems so important.

Looks very nice. Like Ciaee said, I feel unproductive after looking at your work. One critique would be to play with the saturation of color a little more. Raise it in areas of light and lower it in areas of of shadow. Very good work.
