Partington’s Proficiency

The final painting assignment asked us to reproduce a painting by an artist whose style influenced us.  From that painting, we had to create a second piece based only on passages from selected books, mimicking the artists’ style and technique.  

I adore Miyazaki’s concept sketches from Howl’s Moving Castle, and reproduced the original ink wash to gouache on water colour paper.  I’m actually content with the outcome of the painting.  So much that I won’t be posting the second painting because it’s not too good.

I’m never happy with my work.  Weird feelings.  Enjoy.
