Sasha (Stranger #83)

Tyler (Stranger #62)
I used a small palette knife for most of this painting and am very happy with the result. I feel like I’m inching ever closer to the style I want to achieve. This painting required a looseness of mind that doesn’t come natural to me. I still have the urge to “paint within the lines” and…

Self Portrait #4
Self Portrait #4 12″x16″ Acrylic on Canvas I started this painting by squirting paint straight onto the canvas and loosely spreading it around with a palette knife. Working from a black and white photo, I initially just focused on getting the values (lightness and darkness) right in the flesh tones. Then I mixed up some…
