Environment Paintings

When hunting down reference and public domain photos for professional projects, sometimes I find imagery that inspires stories in the form of quick paintings and matte composites! Here are just a few of my favorites.

Had fun re-building the lighting here to suit the mood I was going for!

Created as a quick environment painting for the ArtVenturer’s Guild on Discord.

Practicing composition for wide formats.

Did this for a quick inktober matte painting!

Kept this one more realistic and went lighter on the paint-over to give it more sharpness and emphasize the stark white lighting.

Enjoyed blotting in some bright vegetation here!

Used some great New Zealand stock imagery from Noah Bradley as a resource.

Created for a quick demo at work.
