Oil on canvas board #jyportraitchallenge

Love how this one turned out and feel I got the colours more right/ true.

Thanks so much @jyportraitchallenge & @leopold_model for the lovely reference.

Fatigue

‘Fatigue’ - #Oil on #Canvas 40” x 30”

#Self-portrait in response to my experience of #LongCovid.
At the heart of this work is the theme of debilitating #fatigue. - A longer description can be found on my Instagram.

#Painting #OilPaint #CFS #ME #Art

Self portrait, building on the #Rembrandt process/style, where I prefer to leave more obvious brushstrokes visible.

Acrylic on Paper 18.5 x 12.5in

WIP had a go at emulating Rembrant’s approach to portraiture by painting #Rembrant himself. Likeness is a bit off at the moment where the drawing was done quickly - Acrylic on paper

@huchencourouleau.bsky.social Thank you! Yeah, it’s interesting how flipping the colours gave it such warmth.

Gave #oilpainting a go for the first time. Quite different than using acrylic, flow much better give a nicer finish. #oil on #paper size A4. #painting #paint #pepper #vegetables #flowers #artist #artjournal

Duck painting

#duck by the lake at #verulamiumpark found the acrylic paint a little difficult to render the results I was looking for. This is another post from last year.
