Digbeth at night is just incredibly cool and unpretentious. #birmingham #oilpainting

Big news. It's been sunny this week. I painted outside. Anyway, this isn't from that but I did it on stream a few weeks ago and not sure I showed anyone else so here you all are. Oil painting on A4 art board.

Hope you still like art over here. Oil paint study of a figure on the stairs. A4

Painted a sketch from my favourite of the Best Picture nominated movies at the Oscars this year, Sentimental Value. Of course to pick a favourite I had to watch and rank them all. I also wrote a baby review for each. Overall not a strong year in my opinion, but still some enjoyable films.

Had fun painting the shadows in this one. Oil on A4 art board. #oilpainting

Commission from the back end of last year. Oil paint on card, 64x89mm/2.5x3.5in

Happy New Year all! Managed to actually do a self-portrait by the end of the year that I was happy with. It only took 10 months. As you can see, there were quite a few practise runs and failed attempts, but I ended up with something big and different. Oil on canvas, 91.4x61cm / 36x24in

An Octopus. Oil on card 64x89mm/2.5x3.5in #oilpainting

"I can't stand you touching me! You make me... Aaaaaah" Never not obsessed by Andrzej Żuławski's Possession (1981) Grabbed my big brush recently and tackled an A4 size painting in the same way I do my trading card sized ones. Here's Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill brining with emotion in oil paint.

Mommy Karlach looks at you with disgust. I felt inspired to do some more Baldur's Gate characters, and really enjoyed how this one came together. Oil paint on A4 size art board #oilpainting #baldursgate

Special thanks to one of my older scuffed up brushes for all the texture in this one. Sometimes fighting the scale of the brush is worth it. Glastonbury Tor with a storm rolling in. Oil paint on art board, 210x297mm/8.3x11.7in/A4 #oilpainting #art

The latest raid in WoW is incredibly good looking, so I had to choose something from it to paint. What better to choose than the final boss, the giant Dimensius the All-Devouring. I even bought quinacridone magenta so that I could get some really vibrant pinks. A4, oil paint on art board.

Keskuspuisto in Helsinki is a wonderful place. The access to nature from the city was truly inspiring. I also discovered a painter named Fanny Churberg on my trip there, and her art helped inspire this forest scene. It's an alla prima effort, A4, oil paints, art board. #oilpainting #painting

Since I've been diversifying with animals and landscapes a lot more, it felt nice to go back to an interestingly lit face. Oil on card 64x89mm/2.5x3.5in

A bird inspired OC I created recently in oils after a few rough sketches and a failed digital version. Despite all that, choosing a name for them is the hardest part! Oil on art board, A4

Ciri from The Witcher universe is absolutely one of my all time favourite characters. I'm super excited to see the way CDPR interprets her as she grows older. Anyway here's a 64x89mm oil on card painting that I did based on her new look from the trailer.

I love the faces of a bird of prey. A Eurasian Hobby. Oil on card 64x89mm/2.5x3.5in

Here's @squamatha.bsky.social a fellow Twitch streamer I painted. I didn't know who they were when I started but their community came over and gave me lots of love! oil on card, 64x89mm/2.5x3.5in

Painted a veteran metalhead. Oil paint on card. 64x89mm

Went to look at some art today.

Just a little study in earthy tones. Oil on card 64x89mm/2.5x3.5in #oilpainting

Painted my friends for their wedding. They love raves, festivals, and music in general so a picture of them at Glasto seemed appropriate. Oil on A4 art board

It's time for my annual trans pride fundraising week! Every day I'll have a different guest streamer on and we will read funny short stories and raise money for trans friend of the stream Curry's moving/living expenses! If you aren't there you're missing out 🏳️‍⚧️ twitch.tv/ophiNstitch

#foodpaintchallenge by @alaiganuza.bsky.social and @dennispfeil.bsky.social Quite happy with what came out here. Lots of thick paint and interpretive brush work. Done on a blank trading card in about 1.5 hours. Oil paint.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

A painting I did of a wedding scene. The brides' dog sat on their dresses and created a magical moment which I've interpreted here. Oil paint on art board, A4 / 210x297mm / 8.3x11.7in

What do we think of this one? I love the flash photography effect, I imagined the subject being at a party and this close-up snaps them mid dance to an early 00s club classic. Submitted this to an exhibition open call as well, wish me luck.

My first miniature scale pet portrait. Had good fun with this and of course, commissions for this kind of thing are open 📨 Oil on card 64x89mm / 2.5x3.5in

Happy 3 years of Twitch @ophi.bsky.social Thank you for being great online company and thank you for letting me paint you twice. #oilpainting

A legend whose death I had to mark with a painting.

This was fun and surprisingly easy to do. A 64x89mm oil on card still life. #foodpaintchallenge run by @dennispfeil.bsky.social and @alaiganuza.bsky.social

Another miniature portrait in oil paints. Chose to keep the palette limited and exclude blue, which gives the trees in the background a more abstract look. Oil on card 64x89mm

Up on my site now :) Click through to see the goofy pic of me showing it off... adambolas.co.uk/en-gbp/produ...

Fun little oil painting based on a photo I took recently in Barcelona. On A4 art board.

Just another miniature oil painting borrowing a kind person's likeness from Reddit. Maybe it's time to buy a magenta pigment...

#portfolioday Showing off some of my faces today, but later on Twitch I'll be painting a place. Commissions are open if you'd like an oil painting of your very own.

Dark Lady watch over you. An oil on art board painting of the Banshee Queen of the Forsaken, Sylvanas Windrunner. As a life-long undead player, she is obviously my favourite character.
