Apr - Nov 2020: Scenes of Japan
Japanese vistas painted and drawn using multiple techniques.
I decided to upload 30 shots of Japan that I hand-picked from my vast library of reference photos for my Patreon supporters to use. I carefully chose pictures of various themes and difficulties and edited them with more inspiring color themes.
To show how some of the photos can be used for making art in various media, I tried to create some pieces based on them (and some other shots) myself using quite a variety of techniques.
I also added to this set some other sketches, paintings and drawings of Japan I did testing various media in 2020.

02 Park in Nara — color pencils.
