The past few months were awful financially, funeral expenses for my grandma, having surgery, projects falling through etc. I am having a 30% SALE on my Art Commissions. If you will be interested in supporting and purchasing art, feel free to DM me. Shares mean a lot as well. 🩷

Since we are talking ghibli right now, here are some handmade ghibli styled LotR backgrounds I made a few years ago.

It’s officially Gouaching time! Here are some Levitan value studies and a color one for week 1 of @justindonaldson.bsky.social ‘s 2.0 course 🙌 I lost my value finder so I used my oil paint value stick based on the one from Casey’s Oil Painter’s Handbook. #gouache #values

Put together a dry gouache palette! As much as I love plein air painting with oil, I want to do it with gouache as well and this is a more portable setup (plus the painting study dries faster 😅) I’m ready for @justindonaldson.bsky.social ‘s Gouache 2.0 Course 😌🙌

Thank you everyone for sharing! my business relies on word of mouth and I am really grateful for you all! If you didn't win, go and check out the course one last time to sign up before Feb 23 (link in bio) - Picked at random, the winner is... @ashmackenzie.bsky.social -> send me a DM for details

Its GIVEAWAY time for my advanced gouache course (starting Feb 23) - like, save, comment and Share for a chance to win the seat in the gouache course 2.0

Painting from life can be so intimidating, but It’s one of the most transformative experiences as an artist. A pressure cooker scenario that sometimes destroys you, but more often than not makes you a wiser artist
