My contribution to the last weeks #forteqchallenge! I took the opportunity to defy eggspectations and paint with an all black scene, without using black paint! #painting #skull #egg #blackskull #gothyeaster #drawing #napcult

My final entry for this weeks #fortesqchallenge: a watercolor self portrait with a pretty questionable color situation! I did not intend to go in with anything but red/pink but that didn’t work out because I experimented with my technique and lost track of the direction I had in mind. #art #drawing #painting #watercolor #selfportrait #redface #selfie #pink #napcult

This painting was part inspired to be brought to completion after I was gifted a Dollop of #michealharding Pink from the master herself @feliciaforte. It was a photo I took during a very isolated period of my life in West Seattle. I’m not a big drinker usually, so I opted for cherry coke as a replacement vice and treated the Luna Cafe like my bar earning this painting the title “Social Drinker.” Most interesting to me is how those drab isolation tactics seemed would never serve me in the future at the time, yet here we are again. #painting #pink #cherrycoke #isolation #socialdrinking #quarentinetales #oilpainting #westseattle #napcult

My lady partner is obsessed with Tejava. I see this bottle sitting in our warm lit bedroom so often, it felt pretty natural to capture it. #painting #digitalpainting #procreate #tejava #tea #napcult

Finding it satisfying to watch the process unfold. It gives me clues about where I should spend more time learning. #painting #timelapse #roses #oilpainting #edgeprogear #princetonbrushes #michaelhardingpaints #napcult

Some tulips we bought for Allie‘s G-ma. I have to admit I didn’t think I’d ever love digital painting as much as I do with the iPad, but I have so much fun painting in procreate. The time-lapse feature is also a huge plus since I love seeing the process unfold. #art #painting #digitalpainting #Procreate #tulips #valentines #napcult

I’ve been having difficulty keeping myself on a painting schedule so I thought “Hey f*ck it, I’ll take a class at Palomar. What better way to force me to paint more often.” And sure enough that’s helping a lot.👏🏻 So this is a painting of two figure statues I’m currently studying- wip. I mean… just paint, ya know? The dark truth is we all have to put our heads down and become invisible at some point just to survive in this excessive consumer culture. Sometimes that’s a good place to be but if you aren’t scraping by like that, count yourself lucky that you can just up and leave whenever you walk into a restaurant and stuff your face with garbage. #painting #oilpaint #figurepainting #twocolors #panel #trekell #gamblin #napcult (at Palomar College)
