38x26 oil on canvas This was done from a live model in four sessions. I really enjoyed this one as I typically have the problem of putting too much paint on the canvas. For this painting, I layered it on very lightly and let the underpainting come th
Two skull studies The first one was meant to be more representational and the second was playing with color. I feel the second painting was better due to being more familiar with the subject, which is good to know for the future
A study of two skeletons. Something about this I enjoyed, having a very specific study of bones but also keeping it stylized and working with color
Oil on canvas 36x24 This was my final for my landscape painting class and I can gladly say I am proud of how this turned out. I don’t necessarily find landscape to be the most interesting subject for a painting, but I did learn a lot about wha
Heres some more studies that turned out pretty good learned something from. Had to separate these in two different posts by landscape and portrait because of instagram
Here are some landscape studies I did in September, these were quick and only took about an hour or two each. For my landscape class I had to make about 16 of these painting studies. The second in a close up of tree bark

11x14 oil on canvas I have definitely neglected this account over the semester and I haven't been able to paint so much with how busy i've been with my graphic design classes. I did this still life a couple months ago, i'm happy with how it came out.
11x14 oil on canvas Here’s a smaller painting I did a couple weeks ago, I didn’t do so much art this summer but maybe the rest was needed and I’m glad to be getting back on track during the year. I used a statue as a reference which
Here’s just a couple smaller paintings I did over the semester that I thought were worth sharing, I’ve been neglecting this account and still have to post my final painting. I also might post some graphic design work here as well
24x18 oil on canvas For this painting I had to make a tree using details you usually wouldn’t include such as non brown colors in the bark, individual branches and leaves. I’m really proud of this one as I already enjoyed painting trees b
11x14 oil on canvas I had to make a self portrait and I am glad I did because I feel like this one turned out much better than my previous self portrait. I definitely learned a lot about drawing and painting to help improve this one and I am much mor
11x14 oil on canvas This painting is a clear improvement on my weaknesses as a painter. I used a lot more paint than I usually do and it is making the color and edges a lot stronger and cleaner. I would not consider this my style of painting but goin
