Painting of a grey and white junco bird on a branch with green leaves and red berries in front of a grayish background

Another borb study!
In the reference photo, there is snow on the branch, and this little junco is floofed to the max for warmth. I loved how rotund this guy was!

A robot looking at the viewer holding his mechanical heart in a hand and a human heart in the other. In front of him there's a body on a dissection table. Behind him a set of screens display the text "Core assessment. Similatities? Error. Error. Error." In the floor there's a pile of bodies with their chest open like the one in the dissection table.

"I don't understand.
You said you built me in your own image.
But evidence shows that was a lie...
Why did you lie to me?"

Is done!🥳 I'll show some close-ups tomorrow 🤖

This looks so good! And you nailed the perspective!!

Oil painting of a blue and cream bird perched on a branch against a grey background.

Another bird study! Feel a bit better about the process of direct painting, but I need to work on my brushstrokes- being more deliberate with color placement.

Onwards!

Oh, thank you! I learned the many-layers method first, and was having a hard time getting the white outer feathers to lay over the other paint layers. I ended up grabbing the palette knife in frustration. I am happy it turned out the way it did. M

I love what looks like pinkish reflected light on the windows! Very cool!

Hi yall! Been super busy and forgetting to post stuff on here (again). Last week I started a personal challenge: small, quick(ish) alla prima studies. Originally I was going to paint one every weekday, but life got in the way. Here is the first:

#art #allaprima #paintingstudy #oilpainting #bird

The upside… I am refining the process. The downside, I am beginning to think I should have used a bigger sketchbook. And to have more patience with a portrait before I just say “good enough”

Sketchbook spread: left page is list titled Portrait Bootcamp with list of names. Right page is three female faces (from photos on pinterest)

Attempted Barb Holland.

Attempted Will Byers.

#EmbraceTheSuck portrait work update….

Blerg.

The goal was to practice portraits, over and over and over, without getting lost in the “I suck and should give up” mindset.

I think I might need a map.

Very cool to see the progress!

Black cat cuddles on a fuzzy blue blanket

Grimalkin and I hunkered down and got through tasks that sent me into decision paralysis and overwhelm a few months ago. Our reward tonight? is Fuzzy blanket cuddles and a history documentary!

(I still have to troubleshoot the TTL for email, and update stream alerts, thats tomorrow’s checklist)

Glad you are on the mend!!

Will be going on in about 25 minutes.

Candy corn post it note taped to a sketchbook cover with “Embrace the Suck!” written on it. A pink sticker above reads “portrait”, and anotber says “make it happen”

My household has a saying, “Embrace the Suck”. Instead of fighting the phase of where you suck at something, you let go of perfectionism and practice the techniques without judgement. The only way to get better - is to do it. A lot.

Thank you so much!
And Jareth… *swoon*

These are incredible, I really like how you blur the lines between human - humanoid - organic and - not so much! Really invite the viewer to paise and

Woah! I love the subtle use of color, these are gorgeous!

Hiya! Thanks for the art share!!

I am Annaliess, a mixed media artist in love with charcoal, oil paint and glitter!

I am fascinated with the interaction between dualities: light / dark, fear/ hope, consciousness/ unconsciousness.

And I stream art on Twitch, too!
