Starting a new #oilpainting #portrait sketch and #imprimatura. The leaves and details will be a challenge in #patience.

Painting on a round panel of two adult quail and a baby quail surrounded by cactus. Painting is in progress.

Progress from my easel on this 24” round painting of desert quail in oil. I’m playing with a different approach here of doing a more defined underdrawing, followed by an imprimatura layer. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #quail #desertlife #imprimatura #cactuslover

Imprimatura! I love subtractive ways of painting. For this painting demo in my introductory oils class I worked with dioxine purple on top of a bright yellow tone. I love how the two colors interacted. #painting #oilpainting #imprimatura #artprofessor #teachingartist

Painting of a nude woman facing away from the viewer seated on a chair draped in cloth. There painting is done with solely a sepia toned layer and has a solid black background

Image of a sepia toned oil painting on an easel of a nude woman’s back. She is seated on a chair draped in cloths and is turned away from the viewer, holding her head in her hands. The background is solid black and forms an archway over her

Nudity in art is not inherently sexual despite what censorship on other platforms insists.
Sharing her here since I can’t share her anywhere else

Oil painting of a bird laying on its side with its feet tucked in and its eyes half closed. It is done with a very loose and painterly style with large visible brushstrokes. The head of the bird, eye, beak, and chest are fully rendered but the rest of him is left as a rough sketch that blends into the background

Quick 45min painting of a dead bird I found while hiking. This painting actually got my Instagram account restricted so thanks Bluesky for being the only place I can share it

Painting of a nude woman reclined with her back to the viewer. She is twisted so that she faces the viewer and is pulling back a thick layer of black paint to reveal the light that falls over her body. Like a Wendigo, she has the head of a deer skull
