Mixed emotions viewing the collection of my former teach @nelson.shanks up for auction at Sotheby’s in NYC. Did get to see some old friends and fellow artists in person for the first time in a while. We need more of that. #art #auction @sothebys #guidocagnacci #oilpainting #princessDiana #lucianopavarotti #ronaldreagan #oldmasterspainting (at Sotheby's Auction House) https://www.instagram.com/scott_nickerson_art/p/CZH6e8JvOIS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Started to paint a self portrait on an old @newwaveart posh palette 🎨. The transition from 2021. - 2022 was a rough one. More work to be done on this. #selfportrait #artoninstagram🌍 #instapainting #oilpainting #drawing #color #zelfportret #palettepainting #realism #art #2021 #2022 #covid_19 #eyepainting #skintones @ccsfineartmaterials @mhoilpaints #cobalttealblueshadeoilpaint (at Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcPgyUvKxy/?utm_medium=tumblr

The wipeout method is a great way to start . Begin with some linseed oil and transparent oxide brown on your white surface. Add more paint for the darks and wipe away the lights. Let this dry before adding color . #portraitpainting #wipeoutmethod #transparentbrown #drawingwithtone #valuescale #realism #instaart #startingapainting #model #artmodel #paintingeyes #drawingeyes #drawingthenose #artwork #detailofportrait #monochromatic @ccsfineartmaterials @newwaveart @mhoilpaints #michaelhardingpaints (at Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXn7ZoJL7bD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daddy Warbucks from the film Annie . This was painted for a series based on Wilson Hall at Monmouth University where it was filmed in 1982. The portrait of actor Albert Finney was completed from a still taken from the movie and the background was the dinning room as it is today. .#anniethemovie #albertfinney #artforsale #oilpainting #realism #monmouthuniversity @monmouthuniversity #wilsonhall #littleorphinannie #daddywarbucks #artforsale #richierich #afluentmen #paintingeyes #paintingoftheday #paintingportraits #colorofskin #impressionist #representationart @ccsfineartmaterials (at Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXULfILPYth/?utm_medium=tumblr
