i enjoy painting in acrylic. very much. i LOVE painting portraits. mostly of people i love.
lately i had been painting with watercolor as my medium... for the bulk of my personal projects. I miss opaque paint, paint that's more visceral.
while watercolor is beautiful, its spontaneity is kind of contained... or its released in a different way than the energy that thick paint exudes. at least for me. the way i paint, which will hopefully get better...

anyways. so. i did a small painting of Steve...which youll see much more of in the future [ i have pretty big plans for that guyyyy... working on larger paintings...]
this painting was done in 3 hours of him in my sisters coat and cat-eye-glasses. very chic.
anyways. this was done sometime over winter break... and this summer, i did one of my friend/roomate Ryleigh Belion. We did an exchange. I sat for her 3 hours and she sat for me 3 hours. it was nice. [the painting she did of me was pretty dead-on too! rad.] anyways. this is the sketch i did of her...
she was watching something on her laptop.
so yeah. just some practice for the love of art. more to come. promise.
