“Vanitas”. Colored pencil on Canson. Something like 19”x 25”. Pardon the tape, this one still has some touch ups to go so it’s on my studio wall. Also I tried using bestine rubber cement thinner to dissolve some of the background however it left this high gloss coating I can’t seem to get rid of. Some colored pencil technique book said to use that over mineral spirits. If anyone has any advice I’d be super grateful. I tried spray fix and going over with a very sharp pencil but to no avail.

Today I spent 7 hours setting up and being critiqued. Straight. At least it went mostly well and the criticism was valid. Here’s the result. More development in the memento mori series.
Colored pencil on canson.

A good start to valentines, and we both don’t have classes on Friday. Activated charcoal soap and a cast iron tea pot for my princess. Got the tea pot to go with the moon cups she got me last year! #Tea #soap #teapot #valentines #valentinesday

Trapped inside so I couldn’t make it to the studio. So I did this Michelangelo study to keep busy instead of painting. #michelangelo #libyansibyl #Sistine #sistinechapel #drapery #figurative #classical #drawing #drawn #masterstudy #master #academy #art #artoninstagram #instahot #instagood #picoftheday #potd
