EVEN MORE PAINTINGS (except one is a bit older)

My tablet decided to turn off and never turn on again the other day, so we'll be hitting the traditional painting pretty exclusively for the next week or so.

Fortunately, I've got two more for you that I hadn't shared yet.


This one would actually be more at home with the last set. It's maybe the second or third traditional piece that I did this semester. This was actually the first time that I've done a painting directly from a drawing in....gosh, ages. I didn't draw the model's eyes in the original and then tried to add ridiculous anime eyes, but they just ended up...working. Unfair. 


Talk about lost in translation. In addition to oil paint, this one also has three layers of resin on it with different things sandwiched between them (gesso and walnut ink on the first, acrylic and india ink on the second.) The bright blue and orange were done in oil after I put down a layer of acrylic gloss medium on top of the final layer of resin. The bottom layer you may remember from two posts ago:

    1. Mostly I do it by putting a lot of stuff on the canvas, realizing that that was a mistake, and then scrubbing most of it off, hahaha. Secrets revealed. Now you too can paint with layers!
