In this phase, I put an initial layer of oil paint thinned with gamsol to block in the light and dark areas of the composition. This makes it easier to carve out the details from these large blocks of lights and shadows. I find that this layer also helps the succeeding layers of oil paint flow much smoother on the surface. Around 7 weeks to go before #TOAF62 so I gotta get this one finished soon.

It's going to be a very busy couple of months as I prepare for the @torontooutdoorart on July 7-9. I only initially applied for the online fair but now I am participating in the actual outdoor fair as well. This is my first time flying solo at an art fair. Trying very hard not to freak out! Please follow along as I prepare a few more pieces for the fair.

I recently discovered oil paint sticks even though they seem to have been around for a long time. This is my first time trying them out. In high school, I mainly used oil pastels, and this feels so similar to that. This was a fun experiment with this medium and I already have some ideas of how I'm going to use it for my oil paintings.

Started work on another big painting as part of a new series. I'm excited for the complexity of the paper composition on this one, and I pray for the strength to get through it.

Here's a longer clip of my small abstractions study in oil paint with a grey acrylic base for the background. I will still add a few things to this when it's dry. I'm so excited to try out oil paint sticks on this!

In this study, I'm experimenting with different details and abstractions that can compliment my main subject. I also tried a gradient background and I will put on some glazes on some of the elements to get my desired color.
Here's one of my latest pieces from start to finish.

Here's a timelapse of me working on this painting in 2021. I don't know what I was listening to in the background. Probably some crime documentary and Reddit stories on YouTube.

My studio/bedroom has been occupied by these pieces, and I'm running out of space for new works! But I am happy to see them all together like this. It's a great feeling when you look back at the work you've done and realize that you've accomplished a lot despite being anxious and scared shitless half the time.
A painting I started in 2022 which I have yet to finish. I just need to put another layer or 2.
