The majority of my paintings are of just one subject, but I had an urge to try a crowd of people. Since the largest I usually work is 12” x 12”, it’s tough to fit detail with a large group. Composition and efficiency are pretty important with these

Painting of a scene from the classic SNES game the Secret of Mana. One of my all time favorite games, with a soundtrack I still enjoy. I had a lot of fun painting this one. Full time lapse to come later!

Also thought I’d add the time lapse video to show how this small painting came together. And let me see if I can tag them, this is for @paeartforacause.bsky.social

Finishing Touches of a Portrait. The last post in a series, here I’m painting the last details using mostly brighter oil mixes (titanium white, small amounts of ochre, sienna, umber). Dropping some texture and highlights to emphasize certain areas.

Hard to believe it’s already been three years of painting! I first picked up a brush back in September 2022, and since then I’ve painted 260 portraits. Definitely looking forward to more painting in the years to come!

I don’t think I’ve tried sharing videos here directly, but here is a time lapse from a longer demo I put together. Kind of a “Paint With Me” style video. #painting #portrait #art #demo
