I did a lioness study this week, I was going to actually paint something but didnt have much time. Maybe next week...

Daily sketch theme: Glasses. Watercolor is hard! But every time I use it I feel some improvement. For example, today I only dipped my brush into my coca-cola instead of water twice! A huge accomplishment!

Today's daily sketch theme: flight. Did not have the time to finish this one, maybe some day!

I decided to post them, I want to make this blog a journey, show my progress and have a record of old art so I myself can look back one day and see how much I have grown as an artist. Hopefully that can be helpful to other people as well somehow.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr day and of course the theme, hopefully by the end of this year I will notice some progress in my art if I keep up the daily pace.

Hi! My first self portrait ever! 

Hugo from Lost from my sketchbook!

So, this is my first attempt to using gouache and I gotta say, I quite like it! To be fair I used a pretty cheap, school version of this media, so the negative I have towards it might be just because I didn’t use a quality brand, but they are few anyways. I like how it blends and the fact that it is water soluble, people say it is more of a opaque media, but I got some transparency at times that were quite welcomed. I like it! Super recommend for you to try out as well! I might try using with watercolor and see what happens :)

Attempt at watercolor!

Second try at oil painting. Trying to get better at each attempt. :)

Hello everyone!! I am trying to improve my art skills, I am used to do a lot of photos studies but I wanted to start to create my own thing. I am not there yet but I am starting to paint from multiple sources and references instead of just one, painting the things I want from each reference, that is what I did here, this way I am forced to change lighting and perspective some times to make it fit, learning more in the process. I would love your opinion on this one! Hopefully someday I will be able to create scenes from my own head!

Rough sketch done using conté.

My first attempt at oil painting!! For my first time I am satisfied with the results, can’t wait to paint more and get better at it!

Really quick Amelie Poulain painting for you guys :)
