Master Study

A painted study of a charcoal drawing done by Steve Huston 

Unexpected Visitor

Process work

This is my most recent piece I'm happy with the way it turned out.
Really wanted to try some softer edge work. Oh yeah and i also threw
a creepy weird guy in the mix. I have always had really strange dreams that
break the barriers of the dream state and enter reality. This is my attempt to represent that idea.

little gouache study

Im really enjoying how gouache is pretty much oil paint
that drys really fast. This quality makes it perfect
for little studies like this.

Tymias

This was a piece that I completed last year. I was experimenting with the way flesh is constructed and layered. Playing with the idea of the translucent nature of it and tried to mimic that through my paint application. With muted skin tones built on top of thick paint applied with a pallet knife of intense blues, oranges, purples, and greens. The build up of paint in this way allowed for the intense colors to show through with a subtle glow. This is a very long process, this one took me about 40 hours and haven't been able to try it since because of time constraints. Been looking for a quicker way to achieve the same effect.
