Environment Sketches/Thumbnails

Just a little collection of thumbnails, showing my early process for some of the painting in my gallery. I don’t always start like this, some images have a much more solid under drawing, but in some cases it’s quite freeing and fast to generate tonal thumbnails like this as starting points for paintings.
You can find more of these types of sketches in the individual folios with some of the other concept images in here.

Sometimes to get things going I simply paint shapes and look for imagery inside the overlaps or butting up of stokes, i.e. “pareidolia”.
