Wedding Paintings

I recently got invited to an afters of a wedding and hadn't a clue what to give the couple as a wedding present. But their invitations had this amazing painting on the front, so I decided to do a painting for them of the picture they had chosen for their invites. Only to discover, after finishing the painting, it was acutally one they had bought and had up in their home. So after a bit of thought I decided to stay on the same theme as their invite picture and do my own remakes of it to go with their own painting at home.



This was my version of the original painting, which was done by a grafitti artist in oils. I want no comments about karma sutra or anything of the like. Which is what my friend said it reminded her of after I had asked if she wanted it. (She said she'd put it on her bedroom wall after that comment!)


Then I did these two which I gave to the newly married couple. They're not really at all as good but because I had only found out they already had the original painting a couple of days before the wedding I didn't really have that long to consider them properly otherwise the might have turned out a bit better.




Anyway the couple really liked them and there was quite a few comments about them at the afters so they can't look too bad!


Some New Stuff

So I did some more of my chalk pastel/dancer drawings the other day. I'm pretty happy with them for the most part anyway. Now just to sell them and I'd be very happy! :)



This one was my first one to do out of the set. It is as white and stands out as much as the others its just I took the photo in bad light. 



This is the second one I did in this set. I think its the second one I've ever done like this with a female and a make in it. The pose was really hard, I kept making his far arm look way too long and then his other one looked tiny. It took ages to fix it so they didn't look out of proportion.

Last but not least. . . . .


I like this one the most I think. The pose is pretty simple and I tink it looks pretty in proportion and that the perspective is pretty good as well.
