Scarlet Witch
Oil on primed paper, 8x10”
My faces are getting better, though this one turned out with a pouty mouth as well. Left partially unfinished because I got super tired of working on it. I guess the face is really the part I care about most right now.

Oil on primed paper, 8x10"
This ended up being easily the most successfully rendered portrait I've ever painted, and I learned a lot. There are things that need work as far as color and value, and if I had any interest in spending more time on this I would definitely go in with another layer or two and get everything just right. But this took nearly 3 hours (including the drawing) and I'd much rather move on to another piece than continue laboring over one page in my sketchbook.

First Fruit
Painting an apple is sort of just one of those things that you do when you're practicing painting. It felt like an appropriate subject for my first ever attempt with oil paints. Loved every minute of it!

Did a quick little painting in my sketchbook tonight, and looked back at what my paintings looked like a year ago, and a year before that. I don’t often think that I’ve gotten any better at making art, but looking at my older paintings, even I can see how much I’ve improved. Practice definitely makes progress.

I don't know anything about cars but this one was fun to paint.

It's LeviOsa
It's pretty rough, but it's also maybe the first time I've painted full faces that actually look like people? Not mad about it.
