Hi Karl, do you have any tips or design sensibilties to share for placing figures within a scene? Your magic cards are inspirational but I have difficulties combinging figure work with environments etc. P.S. Love your work. I'm a 30 something with a bad experience of art school (Liverpool) and I love listening to you talk about your work and history. Big love, my friend.

Here's my SKETCH with the references used :)

Hi There, My name is Marcus Rogers, I'm a budding freelance artist in the UK. I enjoy painting portraits and landscapes and have received a handful of comissions recently for the same. I went to art school and studied fine art about 15 years ago, but stopped painting for the longest time as I bounced off the wrote contemporary abstract expressionism that was being taught at the university (I should have picked more wisely!). Anyway, I started painting again during COVID to stay sane and I've made some significant progress. I'd love to be able to combine portraits and landscapes in some way but I'm stuggling to find a way of bringing the 2 together. Any help and advice would be very much appreciated! Many thanks, Marcus https://www.instagram.com/marcusrogers2d/
