Recent Angel Paintings
I’ve been a little behind on keeping my blog updated. I want to share with you the two angel paintings I’ve recently finished.
I’m doing something a little different than you are use to seeing from me. Most of my angel paintings start with a thought in my head, then I sketch it in my sketchbook, transfer to canvas and then paint it from my imagination. No photo references are used in those paintings.
However, for the past couple of years, I’ve been collecting images of models in interesting poses that I think would be great for angel paintings. The photos are used for reference but I don’t necessarily try to make the painting look like the person in the photo, but the paintings do look more realistic than my earlier stylized angel paintings.
Here are two I recently painted using a photo reference.
First is “Amour”
Acrylic on 18×24 stretched canvas
Next is “Serenity”
Acrylic on 18×24 stretched canvas
I had an absolute blast painting these angels! Hoping to create one a week.
What do you think? Do you like these paintings better than my stylized angels?
Blessings, Teresa
PS – You can watch speed painting videos of both of the above angels at my YouTube channel here.
