Thank you! Trying to let the paint look like paint.
Thank you! The think the irony of the looseness is that it forces me to paint in a slower, more calculated way.

Thanks! Yes, oil paints…trying to keep my colors clean but it can be a challenge!
An oil painting next to its still life reference. The set up is a an arrangement of art supplies - brushes in a vase, canvases, paint tubes, paper towels.
Time to mess it up (in a good way, I hope.) Looking for ways to deconstruct the scene and abstract the shapes. It’s starting to look a little too literal.

Oil painting of a woman with a pony tail tilting her head and looking off to the side.
Portrait practice. Sometimes the face emerges right away and it’s so satisfying. Quitting early so I don’t lose it.

Thanks! Actually not so limited…lemon yellow, hansa yellow deep, yellow ochre, napthol red, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, king’s blue, pthalo blue, and burnt umber. I probably could have achieved similar results with fewer colors but I wasn’t totally sure where this one was headed.
Oil painting in blue and yellow/orange colors of a woman seated and looking down.
On the easel today. Experimenting with my mark making.

Thanks! It’s a fun way to work but you do have to trust the process and allow the painting to go through an ugly phase or two.

Oil painting of a dark blue eye and reddish eyebrow
Practicing eyes for a demo tomorrow. Constantly amazed by how much teaching has helped my own painting practice. I’m painting with more intention and (I think) getting more efficient.

Oil painting of a man with a moustache. Thick impasto marks.
Second time painting this one. I’m finding a lot of freedom in painting over unfinished demos after class. Lots of experimentation with the palette knife here.

Oil portrait of a woman in red and pink tones.
New portrait in preparation for the last day of my current portrait class. We’ll be working with a limited palette on a red-toned surface. I kept the paint thin to let the red show through.

Oil painting of a pig looking up toward the viewer.
A quick little painting…started last night and finished up this morning. This was a fun exercise in using more paint from the start and keeping the brushwork loose.
