Gouachein'

Media experiment in gouache of my dear friend Keyla. First time really playing with gouache. It's a very very tricky medium to play around with, But has a lot of potential I think.

One crazy year its been. I'll hopefully be posting more frequently now that I've got some time on my hands. This year I've really been trying to focus on media experimentation. I wanted to try to achieve a look with mixed media solutions. Sometimes it worked other times it blew up in my face, but I always learned something to put to the next piece. With a new year coming into the mix hopefully I can continue experimenting and come up with some work worthy of showing you guys.

Oil Experiments

I've been doing a lot of wet on wet painting using Clove Oil to keep my paints just the way they came out of the tube. Which in turn keeps the paintings wet as well on the surface, though hard to manage I'd rather work into a wet painting then on top of a dry one.

Hope you enjoy:

Portrait Experiments

Here it is, day after "Hell Week" aka midterms. I feel like I can actually get things done at a normal human pace, but we'll have to see how long that lasts. But for now here are some media experiments that I enjoyed hopefully I will apply some of these techniques to future Illustration/Personal Works.

Here are some of the ones I really enjoyed:
