RCleary171 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share #51 Posted October 14, 2012 The soldier on the beach is a real stand out. Very nice. Thanks - it's these little successes that keep me going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCleary171 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share #52 Posted October 14, 2012 Here is a study of a group of US soldiers in Vietnam (1967). It's not easy getting the scans to match the original. That's what I get for buying a cheap scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Thanks Terry, I had not given thought to local galleries but my library offers local artists a room to show case their work for a night. I think I will start planning for that (the price is right ) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffs60s Posted October 15, 2012 Share #58 Posted October 15, 2012 Here I'm trying to stay within my skill level. Monochrome, minimalistic and a bit impressionistic. I can always go back and add more details. I like this one a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs60s Posted October 15, 2012 Share #59 Posted October 15, 2012 I picked up a used book of Winslow Homer's early works (his Civil War Soldier sketches are a great source of inspiration). Needless to say I am trying to mimic his simple yet bold style. Here is a study of a US soldier landing on a beach. This one is great, I love it!

RCleary171 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share #61 Posted October 15, 2012 I rushed through this a bit (must learn patience ). Trying to get use to doing background to give the soldiers a little context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCleary171 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share #75 Posted November 10, 2012 I may need to rework this; it's a bit too bright. Darker shadows may help convey a more somber mood (assuming that I don't destroy it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
