Virtual Plein air painting based from Google Maps

I noticed some people doing virtual "plein air paintings" the other day and so today I thought I'd give it a go. Here is a plein air painting of a random house on Murchinson Rd in New Zealand. I stupidly did not think to save the link to the exact location on Google maps but anyone is welcome to help me find it again :) I'll remember for next time. My aim was to paint it within 2 hours and I managed to do this one in an 1hr and a half. It was good fun. definitely will do more :)

Character doodles

Walter White

A quick Walter White sketch.

Has technology stolen our imaginations?

Something that just started out as a doodle and ended like this. Not really sure where I was going with it, it was just a good way to pass the time.

Portrait study - Parina

Thought I would do a portrait painting of one of my friends using reference from various photos. Here is Parina Mehta :) I think I will do a few more portraits of some of  my friends over the next few days. It is a good challenge to try and get a likeness to the person you are wanting to depict.

Character doodle

I have not drawn in awhile so I thought I would warm up with a character doodle. Here she is!

Blackout

Awhile ago the village where I live had a power cut in the evening. I was home alone watching tv and the sudden darkness left me blind for a few seconds and I could not find a torch anything to create some light. Anyways to cut the story short I tend to have a very active imagination and so I decided to do a painting about my 15 minutes of panic before my mother came home :)
(P.S: I am terrified of zombies)

Smoke break

Smoke break all painted up :)

Smoke Break

A random doodle that I might turn into a painting.

NO LITTERING!

Started of doodling this character (I call him Barry) and ended up with this.
