Selfie

Of all the self portraits I've painted, this is definitely the most recent. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on hardboard.

"Romantic" Painting Demo

For once I document my process, including the pencil sketch and time lapse video. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on hardboard.

I started with a pencil sketch. I sealed the drawing with acrylic medium then gave it a wash of acrylic burnt umber. That's when the video starts.


Painting is SOLD.

Blinds

I'm not sure how I imagined this would come out, but experimenting is usually a good thing. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on hardboard. Reference comes from brillianceINblood on deviantART.

Spooky

I usually go for a "natural" look with my subjects. However, it's fun sometimes to accentuate the artificial. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on panel. Reference comes from EBDstock on deviantART.

Grey Walls

Kinda reaching the limit of what I can do size-wise. This is 6 x 6 inches, oil on hardboard. Reference comes from AnnieBlackburn on deviantART.

Suspect 1

Trying my hand at the mugshot portrait, popularized(invented?) by Karin Jurick. It was a good experiment if only to break my warm shadow complex. The lighted area is much warmer than the shadow in this case. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on hardboard.

Violet Silk

Tonight's efforts. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on hardboard. A conglomerate of references was used.
