21 Day Challenge: ...Day 6, 7, and 8

I was a terrible person for the last three days and didn't realize I was only posing my 21 Day challenge paintings on facebook. (which I'm sure everyone believes..) It's true though :P

Anyway, I have two landscapes, both references from Unsplash and one human study. Since landscapes are generally my weaker area, I wanted to make sure I focused a solid week of the challenge on them. I may come back to them near the end...but it was definitely nice to take a break tonight.

21 Day Challenge: Day 5

Day five of Noah Bradley's 21 day challenge is here! Very unlike the previous day's study, this one has a pretty simplistic color palette, which I think helped me get a lot more detail completed within the hour time limit. This one was one of my favorites so far (likely because the subject matter was very familiar ;P).

21 Day Challenge: Day 4

Back again with another study from Unsplash. I wanted to work on an urban landscape this time around. Honestly it's just been good to work on landscapes and environments in general as it's not something I do very often.
Here's what I completed in my hour and twenty minutes tonight:

21 Day Challenge: Day 3

I decided to go with a study reference from Earth Porn on Reddit this time around.

I mainly enjoyed working with the color pallet - it's much different than I'm used to, so learning more about how they interact was great.

21 day challenge: Day 2

It's always surprising how fast 1 hour flies by when working on these studies. I chose another photo from Unsplash as my reference for today's study and mistakenly thought that maybe due to the repetitive nature of the subject, I might be able to get the details in a bit faster. I found that it was definitely the opposite! 

Either way, this is what I could complete in the hour:
