Shapeshifter: Crow

Crow: sacred law, ability to bend laws, shape shift,
illusions, denotes change.

I am continuing a newly developing technique. I'm always looking for a way to apply texture, and gain precision at the same time. I love the way it looks AND enjoyed the painting part too. (usually it is one or the other)

I'm developing (another) new technique

Three Angels
14x18" acrylic on canvas, $250

Black Bird
(sold)

New experiments. I painted with acrylic... that almost never happens. But now that I have developed a technique that I like I prob will be using a lot more acrylic in the future. The bird painting is my first go at it, just practice to see if it would work. My second painting I went a little further with, but next time I will make the background less distracting... learning as I go.

Global Warming :-(

Political issue illustration for Theil's class. I decided to stay clear of the elections right now because I'm just sick of it all. To me this is a more pressing issue. I couldn't decide at which stage I think it is finished... I hardly ever combine traditional and digital mediums, so I guess this can be considered a bit of an experiment.

Mastercopy sketchbook pages

So for my very first blog post... these are my mastercopy studies from first semester junior year figure painting class. For the most part they were a pain to get started, but as soon as I started with the paint I seemed to fall quite nicely into completing each one very quickly. All but two are done in acrylics, the other two are a mixture of charcoal, acrylic, and other stuff... I painted from old masters to contemporary painters and some of those I discovered online.
