Assignment 5 - Series of five paintings

"Blue Buda" series:

Working on the 5th painting in the series, was going to do a more  traditional making the Buda ornament the focal object, but decided by getting me daughter to hold the ornament I can also turn exercise in to a portrait study.

Work in progress..

Finished Painting

"A day in Hastings" series:

The next selection of paintings my family felt worked the best a series and best reflected the subject matter although they felt pictures  3 & 5 didn't sit quite as well in the series. They liked the combination of watercolour and ink, and commented that the sketchy quality of the figures gave a sense of movement to the scenes

Painting 5.

In following series of paintings based on those already produced I try to create a more refined, less sketchy version of the paintings or elements from these paintings. In some cases I am going back to the photographs I had taken earlier in the month, with more of a sense of purpose as to what I wanted to achieve...a tighter study of the of figures, but with minimal suggestion of anything else from the townscape.
