Every now and then I’ll do a quick study painting which I max out at an hour. Gets my creative juices flowing and brushes up my color, composition, lighting and speed skills. I found this image on IG and fell in love with it.

Sometimes I have to splash some color around to get the creative juices flowing! This is going to be the underpainting for in inspirational landscape photo I found on Instagram. More to come!
