So many good reasons to add a layer of underpainting when you use acrylic or oil paint, but these are my top four: 1. Starting is hard enough, and it’s even harder to get going on a blank white canvas. 2. It gives the opportunity to plan value change (light, medium, dark) without the distraction of lots of colors. 3. It unifies all the final colors in the painting. 4. Depth! Everything is just a little more interesting, especially when a tiny bit of the layer shows through the painting. I...

How to create depth in a painting? I like to use glazes and layers of transparent paint.

A new portrait I’ve been working on. She’s cteated with acrylic paint, ink, and water-soluble pencil. I love adding layers to these small portraits — they’re so calming and soothing to create.

I wish it was different. Or do I? Painting the way I do, with crisp edges and layers to get an opaque look, takes time. And patience - with myself and the process. But it’s in that time that my busy brain finds quiet and ease. And my biggest hope is that the calm and wonder that goes into creating each one translates to you, if even just for the briefest of moments 🩵 Working on some of these smaller paintings that will be available November 9th. Adding extra much needed west coast vibes into...
