A 15 min charcoal study of @artmodel_chris (his insta profile).

New work in progress! It's a two panel painting. I've posted one of the panels before... but it has also been updated. I'll post both, here. It's still a WIP. The facing forward model, you can see where I corrected the shoulder lines. Hehe

I'm calling this one finished, now. Thanks to @kynly-photo.bsky.social for the awesome inspiration. I love their self portraits out in nature!

Progress on a painting. It's getting there.

A fun art and craft faire at a cool coffee shop. I'll be there with some of my paintings. Other cool artists will also be there!

Posting an older charcoal drawing. Hello, everyone!! :) self portrait. :)

Another one done with India Inks. This is dancer Nathan Gombert. Happy weekend, all!

Another in the back-lit, extreme shadow series. :) hello. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. 😀

My little space at the art Faire!!

Experimenting with new media... this was done with INK. I used India inks and acrylic inks on Ampersand's Claybord. Painting inspired by the lovely nature boy @kynly-photo.bsky.social

Sometimes I'm the model! Great work done by @hypercaustic.bsky.social

Woo woo. Many groovy artists and DJs will be here, on the 20th. I'll be there, too... sellin' stuff and dancing!

Doing stuff!! I'm having fun with treating acrylics as if they were watercolors. Hehe. Thank you for @nud3jay.bsky.social for being a great model. I love this pose... looking on at a grand, beach view.

I am working on this whimsical painting. At least, I want it to feel whimsical. I'll get there. Inspired by the magical @flowerjock.bsky.social

Quick study in water color. Practice practice practice.

Charcoal drawing! 😁

The beginning of a waterfall painting. Yes, it is a waterfall I hiked to. :) beautiful Pacific Northwest.

More practice with oil pastel sticks. :) playing with warm and cool tones.

So... more practicing with oil pastels. I took a charcoal drawing I had already done and added fixative. Then I played around with the oil pastel sticks. I... I.. I'm on the fence with it.

Practicing with oil pastel sticks. It feels like painting and drawing all at the same time. Haha. I'm also testing out these boards that are treated with a toothy, clay surface.

Good morning! I posted the WIP for this, but never posted the finished piece. Here it is. :) :) Today, I shall go to my studio and finish up many more paintings. Hopefully lots of posts are coming. :) :)

I didn't have time to tend to any of my paintings (work work cut my day short); but, I did make progress on this charcoal drawing.

Charcoal study of a male art model. I'll be making a painting of this later on. The Charcoal study is just to help get a feel for everything. The model can be found on Instagram @leo.ferreira.life.model This model is very good with dynamic poses!

Hi all. Posting this just so I am consistent in posting stuff. This is a WIP!! Even tho I have warm tones and cool tones on the canvas, the finished painting is going to be more or less monochromatic. :)

Quick painting in acrylic. Happy New Year!

Here is shower pose #3. But, I did this one in oil. I was going for quick gesture style. :)

Oil painting of male nude figure. This is the uncropped version of what is posted on Instagram. The model is @thesexymodel_d on Insta. Thank you for viewing. And thank you, D, for modeling.

Quick sketch of scene from "Call Me By Your Name"

Charcoal on textured paper. The reference for these was a self portrait photo set I did for my photography class, back in my OSU days.

Dancers have the best poses. Ballet dancer in charcoal. Was a practice sketch, so excuse the two sheets of paper taped together. Heh.

Posting another painting. This one sold to an art collector!! (Thank you) The model has a band called Mosaix. Go check it.

First post: finally got to a point where I can call this painting finished. Yay.
