I have been studuing other peoples work, and have tried to repaint what they have done just to improve my own painting skills.

I have looked at a few gnomon DVDs, one of them: “Practical Light and Color” Theory and Application with Jeremy Vickery. Really interesting. I have also tried to repaint some of his images and learn more about how the light bounces.

I am not really sure what kind of mood and light i will have in my final pictures. Here are a few examples of paintings that i will use for reference in my final picture:
