Merry Christmas people!

A relatively old piece.

Dark Street

Another quick one. Working on improving my grasp of contrast and value, as well as storytelling!

Another quick one. Feeling out contrast, color and light effects. reminds me of a moment from Indiana Jones. :)

Morning Grind

A reflection on my commute in the morning. I wonder if traffic would still be terrible if people were up in the air, and then would the ground be empty?
Well, it was a nice thought :)

15min Speedy

Inspired by another artist to switch up the orientation of my paintings and try something new! So here we are, a quick 15min speed paint!

Atmosphere Mood and Color Palettes!

Three new paintings created this past weekend! Exploring different atmospheres, moods and color palettes!

Weekend Work

Some new work from this weekend coming tomorrow (or probably late tonight) to my website! Just a small taste, check back tomorrow!

Stylized Environment Design

A more stylized environment design, playing up the colors and lighting for this scene, also working on the rocks, which I think are improving ;)
Thanks for checking it out!

A taste of some hand painted textures I have been working on recently. You can see more on my website ArtofRyanIngram.com and on my Linkedin page!

Contrast and Composition

Recently I have been increadibly inspired by Francois Baranger. After studying his designs for a long time i have begun to see how well he uses contrast. Heres hoping I can learn to do the same!
Also, if you haven't seen his work for heavy rain yet, you are sadly missing out...go now. > Here <

Heading for Realsim

As the title suggests I am working on getting a handle on more realistic lighting and how to paint scenes with some storytelling. While this isn't completed yet I think its a good beginning to this direction for my work. Thanks! check back soon!

More color studies

Some more color work, a bit longer than last time but still pretty quick. New stuff in the works. Check back!

Rocks study

Based on a national geographic photo. Rocks are ever difficult but very interesting shot. I added the wingsuits later, seemed like a good place to jump.
