Lesson 6, As Final As I'm Going to Make It

Temple of Isis at Philae

I’ve completed Lesson 6 of Isis Sousa’s Digital Painting course on Youtube. The hardest part of this assignment was to paint relatively straight lines. There are also many parallel lines in the reference photograph, and those are hard to replicate without resorting to a digital perspective guide. The temple also has many delicate carving on the faces of the pylons. I did not include them in my painting. In the interest of time I decided to let the rear towers remain unfinished. However, I did add a figure to give the image a sense of scale.

Lesson 7 will cover portrait painting. This will be the most challenging lesson.
