progress.

I was in the studio from 9:30 am until 6:30pm today.


I'm a lot happier with this piece than I was before. Oil > acrylic. Or I'm just not very skilled in the ways of acrylic. I mostly use it for a quick and dirty underpainting (as seen in the previous post, I think. Did I post an acrylic version of this painting? I hope not, it was pretty terrible.) There's still some tweaking left to do, particularly in the antlers. They've gotten lost in the pattern of the sheets.

This next piece is almost finished. It needs something else, though, and I can't quite put my finger on it.



Re-purposed Bedsheets, acrylic, shellac and a window. This is for Mint Gallery's Windows III exhibition taking place April 25th.



I guess I felt pretty productive today.

Here goes nothin'

First real post. I guess I'm going to jump right in. So... here's some stuff:





Underpainting in acrylic. Those are vintage bedsheets. I couldn't decide if I wanted to add acrylic resin later, so I held off on the oils.




With oil paint. I decided against the shiny resin in favor of buttery oils and rich color.
