New post in a very, very, very long time.

Lately I have been posting my artwork on Facebook and Instagram. Its easier and I can do it on my phone. Bonus! Feel free to add me or start following. I'll include the links and stuff like that.

Here is a couple paintings I've done. On Instagram theres tons of daily drawings, and concept sketches. Plus the tattoos I've been busy with this last couple of months.

Maybe I'll run around here to Blogger once in awhile, but I'll be using those "mainstream" formats for now. Also I'm lazy. Nuff said :)

Still Life

Court set up a still life for our weekly painting day. I have no interest in painting still lifes, and think they are boring as dirt. I did however give it a shot anyways.

11X14 3hours


I really found the challenge to be fun and a great learning experience. Every time I paint in oils I learn something new. Something that I'm sure I can use in painting other subjects, like figures, or landscapes. I feel like that kid that wouldn't eat green eggs and ham, and after he had a bite, he really liked it, and realized they aren't that bad.


critiques are welcome

This was an interesting process.

The model posed for this painting a month ago. Then she came back and and posed another 3 hours for the workshop. This time I added the color.

In my class earlier that week we just learned about glazes. So I thought I would try it for this painting because I liked the underpainting so much. It wasn't as easy as I thought. I glazed over this maybe 4 times. Each time I rubbed off the paint. Either because I didn't know what I was doing or it looked bad. Maybe the combination of all my mistakes helped with the over all look, but the painting was mostly done in the last 40 minutes of class.

I liked this process (except all the rubbing) it was kinda like watercolor painting, and seemed easier than painting Alla Prima.
