Yay 😀 I figured our a way to show you the full length of the finished portrait using an app. Gouache is the perfect 👌 paint 🎨 for portraits. Now I’m experimenting to find the perfect painting 🖼 surface. (at Waukegan, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBiHG8nreJ/?igshid=1cjjc6tnk6lv6

Rather than a blackout image, I am sharing an image I made of the singer, Billie Holiday. During some of my darkest hours, she kept me going. She had a rough life. (at Waukegan, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA8GszNnjlO/?igshid=1xb4lnqqutu1q

I love looking at the photos of people who dress 👗 up like famous paintings 🖼. But I don’t want to work that hard. Filters like this one from the Google Arts 🎭 & Culture app are just fine. (at Waukegan, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAP6tAoHn4W/?igshid=w2im93r6aw5w

My studio looks messy today because there are four different projects going on at once. Got some new art 🖼 supplies and just had to play (at Leisa Shannon Corbett) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_iRTcFHnYq/?igshid=1qu88h98p4y25

This is the entire image of the painting in my previous post, Driving on a Stormy ⛈ Night. It is 5x7” and took me 15 minutes 13 seconds (at Waukegan, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NfG8anHN-/?igshid=u3hgy1vamr6h

Last stage of the painting. I’m making the adjustment from acrylic 🎨 and put the layers on too thick for quick drying. So I have placed this painting 🖼 outdoors for the sun 🌞 to dry it. (at Leisa Shannon Corbett) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Mus4SH9lu/?igshid=8pr0af5h2ogg

I decided to flatten and blend a few areas of the sky to make it recede more in the distance. It looks better now. (at Leisa Shannon Corbett) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AYEOJHrO_/?igshid=1xodebk4xu8gg

Prepping for an oil painting class. Yesterday I laid in a coat of yellow ochre and let it set all night. This morning I created the sky and did an undertone for the mountainous area. It’s been While since I did an oil painting. It was interesting to see what happened when some of the yellow ochre mixed with other colors (at Leisa Shannon Corbett) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AKoIBn2BN/?igshid=1g1lwjpv5myhc
