This was a fun little exercise. It has been a while since I have created a new speed painting. I decided to press record and see what happened. It is obviously not a well thought out concept, but I wanted to show depth in a scene with a complexity of scale that was represented by using composition, perspective, atmosphere, and indicated details. This was created in Photoshop without zooming in. This helps to stay focussed on the entire piece as you are working out the composition and mood. If this was to turn into a production painting, I would use this as my road map to go back into the layers and add tighten up the individual layers or update certain elements knowing that depth and atmosphere is already established on layers above these designed elements.
Hope you enjoy,
Scot
