Black-and-white instant film photo of a monochrome oil painting portrait of a woman, taped to an easel. A paint palette with black, white, and mixed gray tones is clipped to the side of the easel. The scene is photographed on Instax film, with the white border visible

Close-up photo of the same black-and-white oil painting portrait, focusing on the woman’s face. The brushstrokes and tonal contrast in the grayscale oil paint are visible in detail

First 'semi-successful' oil painting portrait & I'm officially obsessed

2.5 hour study ~ started last night & finished this morning

Close up master oil pastel study of van Gogh’s postman painting. The piece is of a man in a blue postal jacket. There’s a range of blues, greens, oranges, and greens throughout the painting

Master oil pastel study of one of Van Gogh’s Postman paintings. I really admire that particular painting of his - but was not expecting the range of colors he used when I really looked at it up close

Anyway, here’s my interpretation of it ~ 6 hours

Oil pastel painting of three jelly doughnut holes clustered together. Pink and red jelly oozes from each center. The dough is rendered in soft browns, whites, and purples, with deep blue and purple shadows creating contrast. Made using the mungyo oil pastel palette

back to painting food!!

~jelly donut holes

this time with my new mungyo oil pastel palette. these are sooo easy and workable to use. I can’t believe it took me this long to invest in a higher quality palette

The person who posted the art is her own work. Look at her account and website — this is her work

don’t you live in a city? Where the hell are they lighting them off without pure destructive chaos?? 🤣

A semi-realistic charcoal portrait of a woman, rendered with soft, subtle shadows and gentle highlights that give depth to her facial features

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday

very true! Luckily I’m the only one in my family that has a December birthday (12/25 to be exact) so I definitely wasn’t forgotten about when it came to gifts and celebrations for me lol

Oil pastel painting of a vintage-style cake on a salmon pink background. The cake is primarily blue with expressive variations of blue, purple, and maroon. Thick white frosting is swirled with hints of yellow, purple, and blue. Strawberries sit on top of the cake

Close-up detail of an oil pastel painting showing strawberries and frosting on a vintage blue cake. The strawberries are loosely rendered, and the frosting appears thick and textured with blended white, yellow, purple, and blue tones

To those whose birthday falls in December & is often overlooked because of holiday parties, shopping, & family gatherings. I offer you a solidarity birthday cake that isn’t green or red. But blue - to represent unity (1/2)
