Speed Paint 3 Update

I like working on this one, I wanted to keep going with it. So I put in another hour to fix it up and continue taking it farther. Total time so far is 2 Hrs. I think I would have been to this point in one hour had I not started off all wrong, I have been spending most of the time fixing it. But I learned from it, thats the important thing. I plan to work on this one until I finish it.
It is a great learning tool go off of someone else's work when first starting out.

Mermaid

Here is the other painting for my friend Amy, she is planning to get this and the dragon done as tattoo's... I decided to paint them both, mostly for fun, but also to use for the tattoo artist to use for reference if he/she chooses. This particular painting is not finished, I just wanted to post it at it's current point of progression.

5 Min. Color Tests

After our painting session we went on to do these color tests, each 5 Min. This too was quite fun and informational as far as working quickly and just capturing the base colors and not concerning myself with getting to the details.

Speed Painting Session 3

Well, Chatree surprised me with quite the challenge with this one, this particular painting session was quite fun, and I learned quite a lot of things I need to pay more attention to when I start... I was just so gung ho about doing this one that I didn't pay attention to where I was placing the elements, rather, I was just flinging the brush where ever throwing down the base colors as shown in the first 20 min image. During the break and reviewing it thats when I realized my error, and most of the 2nd round I worked to correct the placements, however, I messed up the tower a bit, Although it can easily be fixed with more time on it.
