Helmet #1 : Canadian Landscape (step 1)

My first helmet is planned to be a synthesis of our beautiful Canadian Landscape, a quiet scene of trees (naturally) and rocks, very akin to the Canadian Shield terrain (my favourite).  I'm using sculptural pieces atop the helmet, planning everything to be painted for the final finish. So for now I'm not worrying about the colour of the clay being used, just the forms and shapes.

Today I made a large batch of pieces for the natural elements, and tonight I'm working on placement.

Two more vacation Studies in oil

Not sure if I will take either of these past this point; am undecided right now. Will likely work on the top one further though (bush weighs wrong). But I am turning to the first helmet this afternoon, so kick-start this.

Have spent some time yesterday trying to consolidate my disparate thoughts on radar, and it's functionality versus the flexibility of VR. This I can continue while sculpting, as kneading something might may a difference.

Little 6x6 oil from Camping Vacation

Am just getting now to posting some of my painting from my vacation. I had decided in the outset that during this couple of weeks I would paint only that which was around me, which would allow me to not spend undue time and worry on whether or not I was painting "the right subject" etc. Hence I worked primarily in my little sketchbook, with several canvases ongoing. I plan to work on some new pieces from my sketches in the coming weeks, while also working on the two helmets for True Patriot Love auction.

Red sketchbook

Some sketches from yesterday. I brush the pages in a light colour for easier drawing in bright sunlight.



Damn iPhone is crap on photographing in landscape mode. Making me wish for a BB.
