Raining Ginza crosswalk Background

I was wondering what the background would be for one of the next paintings. Luckily there are those walking in the rain videos that gave me plenty of locations and reference materials to choose from. In the end I chose this crosswalk in Ginza. The street reflections were something I was worried about, but after trying it out a number of ways it all started to work out. Some of the proportions weren’t really working out once I started to compare it to the subject of this painting but it was something I could fix as I went along.

Meimi Spring

It’s time to reveal the main subject that corresponds to this background. It’s Meimi Tamura. The reference I used is from her music video Butai. I really love the song and music video it self. There are many scenes I want to give a try in painting but that will be for another time.

Here is the music video, do check it out:

We have come to the end of Spring, my second favorite season. I managed to make a few seasonal paintings to celebrate but I had more ideas that i didn’t get to do this time. Hopefully I will manage to do better next year. Next paintings will be about the Summer (my least favorite season due to the heat).

Hasta la proxima,

This is the background for an artwork that I had planned for a couple of years now. I finally got to it.

Turtle Knight

Just a quick painting that I was sketching till it turned into this. At some point it looked like a set of armor so I decided to go with it. The base was started with the Real Tapered Wet Flat Brush and at some point I went over it with the Tapered Oils brush.

Hasta la proxima,
