It's refreshing to be using lots of colour, and these mini compositions really are a joy to play around with.
These quick mini-studies were a lot of fun to paint. These two were my favourites. They are interpretations from memory of familiar places around my city.

Extracted from Notre-Dame de Paris, Claude Frollo is interrogating Pierre Gringoire about his relationship with Esmeralda,
"Dom Claude had been listening in silence. Suddenly his deep-set eyes took on an expression so shrewd and penetrating that Gringoire felt them probe him to the very depths of his soul.."This was only meant to be a preparatory study for a more finished illustration. You can still see my rough under-sketch in red if you look not so closely..
I wanted Frollo to look a bit scary - his lanky body protruding out from the shadows - while retaining some humour regarding his insecurity.
