Some master studies! this one is a cropped version of Retrato de La senora Luisa de Mesones by Daniel Hernadez. The pearls and the neckerchief jewellery was the most challenging and I still think I could put more detail in but it was fun to try some copyist painting. #acrylicpainting #portrait #masterstudy #19thcentury #paintingwomen #artstudy #portraitpainting #artwork #classicart #danielhernadez #starlight_burridge

Some colour exercises with acrylic paints - seeing how they pair off and comparing the winsor and newton galeria range with the companies professional set. My favourite mixes are tinting the main colours with some white, it just sings creamy pastels. It's nice to just do some art journaling sometimes, but I plan to start a few canvases soon 😁

Practicing some simple flower paintings, just wanted to work another sheet or two of this sketchbook that I've decided to make a paintbook.

#inktober day 28 and I've gone for some wizards to mainly practice using the brush pen, it's pretty tough and unforgiving but can be worth experimenting with.

#inktober day 23. I've gone with a knight of night, because that should be a thing if it isn't already, he can fight bad dreams for his royal subjects! So he's a good night knight ♘🌃

Seeing as when I paint I manage to get it all over my hand, I decided to paint my hand, trying out acrylics with impasto effect 😄. #acrylic #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaint #hand #creative #makeart #impasto #paintbrush #artstudy #paintingforfun #artistsofinstagram #paintersofinstagram #instaart #arte #colourful #artexperiment
