Hey all! its been a while! Hope all is well!

Over on this end I’ve got some new work to show you all. I’ve completed my very 1st oil painting. Usually my work is produced with pencil, ink, and acrylic. Oil painting has eluded my mind until just recently. I attempted an acrylic piece and was frustrated with how fast the paint dried and the lack of elasticity with the paint. While learning at the Art Institute of Washington I’d become primarily a digital artist who only uses pen and ink for the bare bone structure of the illustrations and animations I’d make. Digital painting was so much fun because I could work in a world of, what felt like, infinite colour and possibilities. I got to fine tune a lot of color foundations in the digital realm as well. Acrylic paint on canvas was a harsh reality. I couldn’t UNDO my mistakes and the paint would dry while I was still trying to work with it. I use leather acrylics to paint on shoes, but those are small illustrations and designs so it wasn’t as difficult as this task. Moving on to oils allowed me to take my time and work with the paint. To get around the whole “I CANT UNDO” problem I did a simulation painting in Manga Studio using its oil brush. I painted as if It was in real life. No undos and no special tools like, blur, smudge, paint bucket. etc. I also watched a bunch of oil painting walkthroughs and tutorials. The University of Youtube as we call it is a great institution lol! After three awesome sessions it was completed and featured at Pancakes and Booze in D.C. a couple weeks ago. There are three more paintings coming along to join this one to make up my next Release! Digital Prints of the painting and its siblings will be available after all the originals are complete. For now Mini Prints for the last series of collective work is at GYASO.STORENVY.COM! Stay fresh everyone!
