Eldgjá

These paintings are based on photos taken at Eldgjá in Iceland. I've made good use of my rock texture brush again and also one I've made for grass. I painted the daylight version first, then made the night lighting version from that, adjusting the colours and values and replacing the sky with a photo I took of backlit clouds.

Rockscape

I threw together a basic composition from five or six different landscape photos, then started painting over it. Much of this was done by using Photoshop's lasso tool and then painting within selections - it has quite a graphic style to it, which I like.

Pinnacle

This is based on photos of mountains in China. I made use of my custom rock texture brush in Photoshop.

Lake

A quick painting from photo reference of Lake Ogwen, Snowdonia.

Nant Ffrancon
