9x12" Acrylic on Canvas 2025
My idea was to paint a picture of a friend. I wanted to paint a picture of a friend and he just had the perfect picture to paint. it does not really look like the example but its close enough. i like the mona lisa so i wanted to do a portraite of someone. i used two brushes on this painting. a medium one and a small one. i didn't have any techniques i just painted what i saw. it has basically no meaning, they can think about anything when they look at this painting its not the best. the hardest part to me was trying to add light to his skin from the sun. i just made that part a little lighter. if i restarted i would make the main coat thicker so i could have a better base to start on. i was going for realistic but it defiantly isn't so im saying its abstract. its unique because i painted it and i love everything about it.
5x7" Watercolor on Paper 2024
i decided to paint a landscape. i like going camping and just being outside so i like to find goods viewing spots that i can just relax at. i started with the background painting it blue with a bigger brush. then i went in and added the mountain and the river. then i added the trees with a small brush. i dont want people to think of anything when i find a good spot to relax i dont want to think about anything and its the same with the painting. the hardest part of the painting was tring to get a rock to splash in the water. i used a lot of white to make it look like ripples but it didnt work like i wanted. if i started ver i would not do the rock because i think it ruins it. its a realistic painting but it doesnt look realistic. i painted it thats why its unique.
