Continuation of Oranga | Stage 6

I have literally moved mountains in stage six of Oranga, extending the horizon by adding more behind the existing, also extending the foreground back into the hills to give better perspective. You will notice more work in faces and hands and a change of sky colour to give better tonal balance. See http://brycebrownart.com/oranga.html#6 and click on the painting to view a larger image.

Continuation of Oranga | Stage 5.

Hello, Friends.

I'm now into stage 5 of Oranga, and I'm seeking to find balance in the
painting with a change to the foreground colour. I have also nearly
completed painting the faces. I will most likely paint out all white in the
clothing in stage 6. See http://brycebrownart.com/oranga.html#5 and click
on the painting to view a larger image.

Kind regards
Bryce

Continuation of Oranga | Stage 4.

Stage 4 of Oranga sees some dramatic changes with addition of some
background scenery typical of the Rotorua area where this piece is set. See
http://brycebrownart.com/oranga.html#4 where you can also view an image of
the piece being painted. This will give you an idea of scale.

Kind regards
Bryce

Continuation of Oranga | Stage 3

I have boldly taken on 'Oranga' again, inspired by tinted postcards of the early 1900's. View stage 3 here http://brycebrownart.com/oranga.html#3 click on the painting for a larger image.

I spent the day yesterday photographing my model Shinae whom you've seen in paintings such as 'Girl in a pensive mood' and 'Hope'. The images a very 'Vermeer' like and I can't wait to start working with them very soon for drawings and paintings, so standby!

I hope your New Year is off to a good start.
Kind regards
